[RBASE-L] - Re: Stagger from on top of a form

[MikeB]

That's roughly what I came up with excepting I incremented the var as a 
counter called vInstance.

Marc,

I'm thinking and typing so this may not work.

On Before Start EEP in your form

IF (CHKVAR(vFirstForm)) = 0 THEN
   SET VAR vFirstForm INT = 1
 ELSE
   SET VAR vFirstForm = 2
ENDIF

On After Start EEP in your form

IF vFirstForm = 2 THEN
 PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP 200
 PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 200
ELSE
 PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP 100
 PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 100
ENDIF

Sounds like it would work but maybe not. The only time I do the form
postioning
is when I call a different form.

Jan

That's what I ran into, I have been chasing my tail all day and have not
had a chance to try other suggestions.

Thanks

If the onAfter start EEP says the same thing in the second instance of 
the

Form, the first instance will already have moved LEFT making the second
instance in the exact position as the first after it moves Left.

The only thing is it is the same form I want to pop up on top of itself.

Wouldn't you want to GETPROPERTY the left position of the first form and
add (or subtract) some number of pixels to that and use that number in an
OnAfterStart EEP PROPERTY command to locate the second form.  You could 
to

the same with TOP.
That way, no matter where user moves the form, the second form is always
in the same relative position to the first, x number pixels to the right
(or left).

 Hi

 I want to open a second copy of a form on top of itself and have it

seem to work.


 I know this should be simple but I haven't been able to figure it out
yet.

 Thanks
