Store the popup location of propertiesform

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.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
