SETMENUCOORDS

Purpose:

Sets the coordinates of a user defined menu or dialog box.

Syntax:

SETMENUCOORDS(handle, id, left, top, right, bottom)

handle

-

An integer, the handle of the menu or dialog.

id

-

Optional. The integer handle of a control contained by the dialog box.

left

-

An integer, the left coordinate of the menu or dialog.

top

-

An integer, the top coordinate of the menu or dialog.

right

-

An integer, the right coordinate of the menu or dialog.

bottom

-

An integer, the bottom coordinate of the menu or dialog.

Returns:

An integer, 1 if successful.

Example:

Consider TEST2.PAN, the following embedded dialog box specification:

 

 

// test2.pan

@panel

 

// modeless and embedded into Worksheet

@child 1

@modeless 1

 

// allow width to adjust

@adjust_width 1

 

// upper left device coords 10 pixels from Worksheet border

@xd 10

@yd 10

 

// default parameters

{defvar("_funcstr", "Gsin")}

{defvar("_funclen", 100)}

{defvar("_funcdx", 0.01)}

 

// dialog box input controls

Function: <w=20>~_funcstr = "<{_funcstr}>" ~ <Gsin><Grand><Gnorm>

Length:   <w=20>~_funclen = <{_funclen}>   ~ input(2)

Deltax:   <w=20>~_funcdx  = <{_funcdx}>    ~ input(1)

 

// evaluate function and set current window formula

~eval(sprintf("W0 := %s(%d, %g)", _funcstr, _funclen, _funcdx))

 

// prevent automatic close

~menureturn

 

The following statements invoke the dialog box and automatically adjust the Worksheet location:

 

m = menufile("test2.pan");setwsx(getmenucoords(m)+10, -1);

 

Now, to increase the width of the dialog box by 100 pixels and automatically adjust the left coordinate of the Worksheet:

 

(l,t,r,b) = getmenucoords(m);

setmenucoords(m,l,t,r+100,b);setwsx(getmenucoords(m)+10, -1);

 

Since the dialog box has the @adjust_width property, the width of the controls within the embedded dialog box also increase.

Remarks:

The values are specified in device (pixel) coordinates. The coordinates of an embedded dialog (@child) are relative to the upper left corner of the Worksheet display area.

 

A value of –1 preserves the previous value of the coordinate.

 

The optional ID parameter specifies a control within the dialog box marked with the ID identifier. In this case, the coordinates of the control are relative to the upper left corner of the containing dialog box.
