Here is a snippet I used:

class Acquire(model.Background):

    def on_initialize(self, event):
        ....
        self.parent =3D self.GetParent()=20
        .....

of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Subject: [Pythoncard-users] Window tracking

Hi list,

Does anybody know if there's an easy way for a ChildWindow to "track"
the position of the parent window?  For the very least, when opening a
child-window, I like it to at least get close to where the parent window
is.

Thanks,

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,

Both the parent and child window are just windows, so you can use any of 
the functions for a wxWindow.
So, in the child's on_initialize(), you can do something like:

   self.Centre()
which will centre the child window over its parent.

Or you can do
        self.parent = self.GetParent()
        bx,by, dx, dy = self.parent.GetRect()
        self.Move( (bx, by+dy) )
to move the origin of the child to the bottom left of the parent.

Or .... lots of things like that.

In the parent window, you can add something like

        self.childWindow = model.childWindow(self, MyChild)

and have handlers

of course, you ought to check that the child window exists, etc. :-)
