Dialog Editor off the screen

[AndrewT]

I am trying to edit one of my old program's dialog windows, but when I open the dialog editor, it opens the windows such that the top control bar is off the top of my monitor. I have tried all the tricks I know to move the windows, but because they open as a special child window of MS, I haven't had any luck.

Anyone had/solved this problem or have any good tricks to try?

TIA

That's exactly the thread I was looking for. Cheers!

The script fix worked for me. Thanks.

Sounds like I have the same setup as Grovkillen and the same issue. Not sure how repeatable it is for MS staff, but hopefully a fix can be made in upcoming versions because it is a truly frustrating problem.

Thanks again,

Frustratingly, we haven't been able to replicate it at all.

This gets it visible again. Edit accordingly :

Code: Select all

Let>REG_INTASSTR=1
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,SOFTWARE\MJTNET\MSched15,dlgToolFormLeft,300
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,SOFTWARE\MJTNET\MSched15,dlgToolFormTop,300
RegistryWriteKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,SOFTWARE\MJTNET\MSched15,dlgPropsHeight,500

If it's an existing Dialog, you can also control where it's displayed on screen with the Left and Top parameters. They may be too low or off screen.

Please try having different zoom/dpi settings of the screens. I think it's causing problems.

I have solved my problems using MS (meta to fix problems I have with MS using MS)

On the subject of using MS to do something in MS, I often use a script to write a script. For example extracting 600 field Ids and creating hundreds of XLGetCell lines for those Excel sheets that have so many columns the column name starts spelling words.
