Dialog Box Save Last Position
Hello,
I have these functions:
I am trying to make the dialog box to open in the same place where it was last time before closed it. So I call PositionSave() in OnDeinit() and PositionGet() in the OnInit(). But something is wrong because is not working ( it is opening with diferent shape). I use the same functions on another dialog box in a indicator. This one is an EA. Kindly advice!
I don't know how the dialogs library updates the position of the dialog but it probably is on drag end so , if you place a change detector on the events code under the passing of the event to the dialog
if(AppDialogTop!=MyDialog.Top()||AppDialogLeft!=MyDialog.Left()){
} and do the save inside those.
If the dialogs library updates this on mouse move though you'll need to establish the drag end (if detectable) in a custom way.
(Also ,different shape as in the contents of the box have an offset ? If yes the above may not be the solution)I don't know how the dialogs library updates the position of the dialog but it probably is on drag end so , if you place a change detector on the events code under the passing of the event to the dialog
