2482.0. "defaultposition attr for dialog box" by CSC32::B_BRADACH () Tue Mar 20 1990 14:11

    I have a customer who has a main window with a dialog box as its work
    area.  He then has another dialog box as a child of the first dialog
    box on which he sets the defaultposition attribute to true.  According
    to the documentation on programming guide volume 1-a
    page 7-11 this should center the second dialog
    box -- and yet it doesn't.  Am I misreading something??
    
    any ideas??

The second dialog box should be a popup dialog box.  DefaultPosition is
only relevant for popup dialog boxes.  If that doesn't work, you could
try making the parent of the second dialog box be the shell that parents
the first dialog box rather than the first dialog box itself.
