Paul, I've just tried it with Getfile() and the Getfile() window handles itself in a different way to the Getprinter() window and seems to be "Really modal" as opposed to the Getprinter() window which allws VFP to process in the background. The result is that the timer never gets to fire as the window is instantiated before the timer event and seems to block everything else.
I'll give it another look later on to see if I can come up with a fix. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: 26 March 2008 13:28 To: profox Subject: GETFILE() window location Hi all Tristan first posed this question a couple of years ago: Is there a way to tell VFP where to display the window when issuing a GETFILE()? And Dave C suggested: How about wrapping the getfile() up with a timer in the background which picks up the window handle via API calls and then repositions it according to your wishes. Somewhere I have an example of this approach using the Getprinter() dialogue so I know it works and yes the timer still fires even thought the Getprinter() dialogue is modal. I'll try and dig it out tonight. He even said: I did but its at home at the moment so I'll post it on the list tonight. Trouble is I can find no trace of this - do you still have it (Dave) ? Or Tristan ?
