Getting screen to appear in the center of the screen

Posted on by 75,848 Moderator

I am developing a program using C# that displays forms on the screen.

Whenever I do this with a GP screen the form always appears in the upper left-hand corner.

           this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent;    <<<--- This is all I usually need to do

Is there anyway to position a form when called within GP using C#?

    Hi Richard

    Are you talking about a Dexterity window in GP or a WinForm you have created?

    Dexterity windows (as long as they are not modal) and you are not on the web client can be positioned either with Modifier to change the window position or with the Dexterity move window command.

    Note: GP Power Tools can remember the position, size and state of any Dexterity window in any product on a per user basis and always re-open the window back to however it was when it was last closed.

    I don't think that VS Tools can change the Dexterity window position without calling Dexterity.

    Please plan to come to my Dexterity training in the week before Summit in October in Charlotte NC. It will open a whole new world for you and make it easier to work in VSTools even if you don't use Dexterity.

    Regards

    The week of Monday 9th to Friday 13th October For Dexterity Training

    There will also be a GP Power Tools training as part of the Academy training before the conference.

    Two weeks in Charlotte, NC in October. That is a tall order.

    In person classroom training is the best approach. I have tried virtual and online training for this course and it is not effective.

    It costs me a small fortune for flights to get to the USA for the conference , so running the training at the same time makes sense.

    Trust me, it will absolutely be worth your time. Just ask anyone who has done the training with me already.

    The reality is that there will never be a time that I am running the training that is not before or after a conference.

    Regards
