How to make window follow parent gui form

[antmar904]

Hi, I have a main GUI form and when a button is pressed to perform a function I have a SplashTextOn box pop up and says "working, please wait..." but if the user moves the parent form to a different place on the screen before pressing the button the SplashTextOn window will open in the same place the main form was originally launch.  What is the best way to deal with child windows (message box, popups, splashtext, etc) so they follow the parent GUI.

I would suggest you create your own splashtext child GUI with $WS_EX_MDICHILD style or

using WinAPI functions, and let Windows handle that for you.

Just put a winmove somewhere in your main loop and set it every n seconds if needed or use adlibregister every so many seconds.

$hwnd=SplashTextOn("hello world","Hello")
sleep(2000)
winmove($hwnd, "" ,10,10)
sleep(2000)

Exit
