Change text box X & Y position at runtime

[CarlBarnes]

?text{Prop:XPos}=

FYI you can use GetPosition / SetPostion(feq,xpos,ypos,width,height) to get/set all at once. You can omit any you do not want e.g. SetPosition(?text,newX,newY). The Window FEQ is Zero.

This post has a routine with some example code that moves controls based on window size.

Message() White with Gray Button Panel like Windows API

I think I like the look of the Window API Message with the text on White and the Buttons on Gray. You see these in the Clarion IDE like this one, and most Windows Apps. [image] This is a comparison of a Message in classic all Gray on the left and White / Gray on the right. I think I like the way the White pops out more than the all Gray that blends into the other windows. [image] That message has one line of text, a more typical message below shows the text is closer to the buttons gray box…

IIRC if you are using PROP:DeferMove you must use PROPs for it to work.
