Re: Dialog box repositioning / initial position
That is strange, as I have never seen this or ever heard anyone complain
about it.
As a test I would suggest putting a call to CenterWindow in your
OnInitDialog to see if that makes a difference. If that doesn't make a
difference, try putting a temporary button on the dialog and in the click
handler of the button call CenterWindow.
Let me know what happens when you do these.

First of all thanks for even taking a look at the post :)
Right now we don't do it via code so yes its the default position of the
window.
I know its kind of lazy but we would like to avoid coding the position of
the dialogs. Especially since the system has basically two options: One
large 30" screen and a cheaper option with two small(er) LCDs. Adjusting
the position for the dialogs conditionally based on the monitor setting
and possibly the size of the dialog itself is something we would rather
avoid ...
But then again it could very well be a driver problem ...

Hi,
Hopefully this not too off-topic. We have a application that is intended
to run on a dual monitor setting. If the monitors are set to span-mode
dialog boxes open in the center of the screen. Which means right at the
crack between the two LCD displays.
Both, Nvidia and ATI, offer a driver setting to reposition the dialog
boxes to a different location to avoid that problem. Now on the Nvidia
system this works flawless. But on the ATI system our application does
not
seem to be affected by this at all - it keeps displaying the dialogs
right
in the 'center' of the two displays.
Now I am wondering if anyone is aware of MFC being able to cause the
feature to work on the Nvidia system but not on the ATI system. Could it
be an issue with our MFC code that simply prevents it to work correctly?
I know that this could well be a driver issue with the ATI one but I
wanted to make sure ...
Thanks a lot for reading this and for any suggestion of course.
