Re: How to move a modal dialog
Thanks Ali, that is interesting information. I've never moved a dialog to
0,0 so I was seeing what David was seeing (that it seems to work). I've
also expanded dialogs to fill the whole screen in OnInitDialog() and that
seems to work as well.

Joe is partially correct, if you move the window to 0,0 then when
OnInitDialog returns it will be centered again. Any other coordinate it
would be ok.

Actually, this doesn't work. After it returns from OnInitDialog, the
dialog is forced to
center-screen. The trick is to PostMessage a user-defined message, and
in its handler, do
the SetWindowPos.

I don't think so. I move dialogs in OnInitDialog() all the time.
