Set Modal Window Position

It would be nice to have a method of setting the position of a Modal Window.  Currently, window position must be set after creating the window.  But since a Modal window halts all processing, the command to reposition the window is not seen until after the window is closed.  

 

I envision something like this:

 

w = New Window("My Window", <BR />    << Modal, <BR />    << Position(100, 100),
    Text Box("I'm a window!")
);

 

Credit to In JSL, can I tell a modal window where to be?

Thanks Craig!  This works for me.  It would still be great to have a simpler method in future revs, but this is a pretty good alt.

 

Will post your soln to the previous discussion thread in case others don't see it here. 

Re: Set Modal Window Position

That would make it simpler. Currently you can do it like this:

w = New Window( "My Window", 
 <<MODAL></MODAL>

The OnOpen script runs before the variable w is assigned, and before the window becomes current, but the window does exist so the window function can find it by name.
