292.0. "Message box placement" by HUBBA::SHAH (What's up Doc?) Thu Feb 23 1989 18:24

Hi all, I have a question on message box placement.  I always want to 
place a message box in the top left hand corner of my window.  If I set 
DwtNdefaultPosition, the message box is always placed in the center.  And
if I give x and y coordinates to my message box, the box doesn't move
with my window, if my window is moved by the user.  Is there any easy way 
of doing this?   Is there a way of modifying the default position that
is set by DwtNdefaultPosition?  Or will I just have to obtain the x and
y positions of my window and manually place my message box accordingly.

Thanks in advance,
-Pratish

    I'm afraid you're on your own.  You'll have to figure out where
    your window is each time you want to pop up the message box, and
    position in manually.
