Store the popup location of propertiesform

Mondeo205

Hi at all,

I've searched so much, but i can not find a answer, maybe someone of you know it!

Is there a way, to store the location i.e of the "Edit Instance Properties" form?
The hiStoreFormLocation function don't works in this case!  With this function, i was able to define all other windows i need, but not the propertyforms!

My Problem here is, that we have 2 monitors and my mainmonitor is the right one, but this propertywindows always opens on the upper left corner on the left screen and i want to have it on the right screen, thats a little explanation why i need this!!

Thanks for your help!

Best Regards

  • Are you talking about the layout or schematic properties form? Which version is it you're using?

    If it's the  layout edit properties form, then this definitely won't work - which is what my guess is. The form is not a SKILL form; it's a Motif form, and as such can't be controlled with the normal SKILL hi functions.

    If you were using IC613, you could use the Property Assistant (Window->Assistants->Property Editor) which is a persistent assistant, which you can then maximize your screen area by using the F11 key (Windows->Workspaces->Show/Hide Assistants) to toggle the assistants on or off.

  • You are already right, I'm talking about the layout properties form!

    The version we use is the IC510!

    I already thought that there is no solution!

    But you wrote, that the forms couldn't controlled with the Skill functions, is there maybe another way to define this??
    I think, that there must be a file, where this location is defined or I'm wrong?

    Thanks for your answer!

  • There's a recent enhancement CCR, 713815, asking for a control over the location. However, given the response to a previous CCR (634022), the idea is that the form will ultimately be replaced (somewhere down the line in the IC6.X generation of tools) with a Qt-based form, which will solve this problem, I doubt something specific for the property editor will be added. Certainly not in IC5141.

    Currently there is no way to control this in IC5141 or IC613.
