B. Ferguson Guest Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2006 9:07 pm    Post subject: Positioning of child forms Using D7... I'd like to be able to position a child form on a Main form in a specific location, no matter where the main form is located on the desktop. My intent is to use an Outlook Bar type control on the left and have the newly created/opened forms always be positioned in the space to the right of the Outlook bar and under the Menu control. I don't want to use a Page Control and place the edit control on it because ultimately there will be many controls and it would use a lot of resources to have them all populated at one time. Is there a way to accomplish this so the secondary form is always "anchored" in the region I want, no matter where the main form is repositioned on the desktop? BTW, this will be a SDI application...MDI is not an option. Thanks in advance... -- Regards, Jan Ferguson Back to top Wayne Niddery [TeamB] Guest Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2006 1:00 am    Post subject: Re: Positioning of child forms J. B.
