==== Window position question. (OpenInsight 32-Bit) ====

I have noticed something that kinda drove me a bit crazy. It appears that a window's size (x,y,w,h), when it is started, is controlled by its parent. Is this normal?



Window's size is (6,111,799,294), when there is no parent.

Window's size is (-499,85,799,294), when there is a parent with size of (-505,-26,505,26).



Notice the "X" and "Y" items are changed based on the parent's "X" and "Y" items.



I use the following sentence to start the window...



  NEW_WINDOW=START_WINDOW(WINDOW_ID,PARENT,CREATEPARAM,FALSE$,INSTANCE)

<QUOTE>Richard,



I am addressing the implied question in your comment.  A generic coordinate transformation program for window size would take into account whether the window position is expressed relative to the screen, an MDI frame, the parent, or a control within the parent.  The Help definition window in the ATLAS Framework has a radio button for this selection, and then performs the corresponding coordinate transform in program SHOWHELP.  As this is free open source code, I hope I am answering your concern.
