RE: [Pythoncard-users] Window tracking

[<kim...@ya...>]

Hi there, thanks for the reply.

I am afraid that's not what I am looking for.  I know
how to get the parent.  My question was how do I
position the child window so that it opens up over the
parent.   For instance, under Windows XP, if I am
using 2 monitors, if I don't do anything, the parent
window might end up on one side and the child window
will end up somewhere on the other side.

What I am looking for is something like:

a) Get the parents coordinate
b) Set the child coordinate to be some kind of a
function of the parent
c) Set up an event handler so that whenever the parent
window moves, change the child windows coordinate to
follow the parent.

I know how to do these things in C - just don't know
how to use do it in PythonCard.

Regards,
