Gintaras,
I have message boxes that 'pop-up' to reveal information about items in a ListBox. Is there a way to insure that this ALWAYS pops up on the same monitor as the ListBox? I mean, can you make this a 'child' of the listbox?
Thanks!

If I've assigned the name of the listbox to the variable 'listBoxSysTitle', would this be correct?
MES m.hwndowner=F"{listBoxSysTitle}"
m.style=F"{MSGforHotKey_StyleButtons}n"
m.x=175 ;;160329 from 10
m.y=400
m.timeout=15
m.default='C'
int i=mes("" ""m)

Are you saying that QM knows that
"listBoxSysTitle"
in "MES m.hwndowner=win("listBoxSysTitle")"
is a a variable?

OK Gintaras, I've added that but I now have a problem. (Windows 10) When the message appears the listbox disappears from the monitor?

I see how to capture the code from QM but HOW DO I paste it here?

In QM: menu Edit -> Other formats -> Copy for QM forum.
In Firefox: Ctrl+V. Don't use the Code button, it is for languages other than QM.

I made a mistake on that post!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 1st "MEM" needs to be commented out and the one 2 lines down needs to be activated. Sorry!

Using function ListDialog()? How do you make it show on a certain monitor? If you use the _monitor variable, then mes() message box also should be on the same monitor because both functions support it. If you use an owner window, let it be the same for both functions.
If you want that the message box would be owned by the list box, I see these ways:
1. Use a custom dialog, not ListDialog().
2. Show the message box in another thread.
