How to show dialog 2 at coordinates relative to dialog 1

[donald stein]

hello , nice forum!
I have two dialogs, the first is the main dialog , the second is triggered by a button on the main dialog, is there a way to get the x y of the main dialog and have the 2nd dialog open at a certain x y on the main dialog no matter where main dialog may be dragged? if possible could I get an example if such a code exists? thanks in advance!

1. Remove DS_CENTER style of the second dialog.
2. In ShowDialog that shows the second dialog, use handle of the first dialog as 4-th argument.

Examples

Function Dialog55

Code:

Copy      Help

\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

if(!ShowDialog("Dialog55" &Dialog55)) ret

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 223 135 "Dialog"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 120 116 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 170 116 48 14 "Cancel"
;3 Button 0x54032000 0x0 6 8 180 14 "show another dialog at 0x0 from this dialog"
;4 Button 0x54032000 0x0 6 28 180 14 "show another dialog at 50x50 from this dialog"
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x2030000 "" "" ""
