#55 DIALOG

[Tice]

According to the UIQ Style Guide the dialogs should
appear on the bottom of the screen. In the current
release it is center aligned.

Gyorgy,

Try this code.

dInit "This is positioned bottom right!",$4
dPosition 1,1
dText "The position should not affect this dialog",""
dBUTTONS "OK",13,"Cancel",-27
dialog

I think this should solve your problem.

I do not know if it should be still recorded as a bug or not.
Rick, what do you think?

Ciao,

Pawel,

Sorry for being so easily misunderstood.

The whole dialog box should be on the bottom of the screen
according to the UIQ style guide.

I don't really understand how the flag $4 (which is for "use
the whole screen" according to OPL Wiki) could change this
behaviour...

Tice,

Look at attached proc please.

proc TestDialog:

dInit "This is another, which is positioned bottom right!",$4
rem this is a trick! dPosition 1,1
dPosition 1,1
dText "The position should not affect this dialog",""
dBUTTONS "OK",13,"Cancel",-27
dialog

dInit "This is another, which is positioned top left!",$4
rem this is a trick! dPosition -1,-1
dPosition -1,-1
dText "The position should not affect this dialog",""
dBUTTONS "OK",13,"Cancel",-27
dialog

endp

You can see this right now?

You can try with other types as well.

OK, now I see :-)

But there's another problem: if you enter the following code,
a slider appears at the right of the dialog box (though there's
enough space to show the entire dialog).

dInit "Test"
dPosition 1,1
dText "","left",0
dText "","center",2
dText "","right",1
dText ""," "
dText "","Text to be displayed",2 OR $200
dText ""," "
dButtons "Again",%A,"-",%A,"-",%A,"Exit",%X
