I think someone mentioned this a while back, but I didn't
see the answer to it. In ResEdit 2.1, one can stipulate
that a window (or dialog) may be autopositioned by system 7.0
in various ways. Can this be done programmatically? Is there
some new undocumented version of NewWindow ? It does not
appear to be in IM VI.
Thanks again for your unbounding support.

I think if you set the topleft of the window to (-1,-1), it'll center. It's documented in some obscure place in UI in IM6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jtteh@dbase.A-T.COM [The opinions are mine and mine alone and not of my employers. ] [My employers don't pay me to express opinions, just ship products...] ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This implies that there's a patch on _GetNewWindow which parses the new information. So I guess that means you need to use 'WIND' resources to get the automagic positioning, and _NewWindow won't cut it... -- Dean Yu Blue Meanie, Negative Ethnic Role Model, etc... Apple Computer, Inc.
