what you see there is worms popup message demo this is not a dialogEX box.
this was out way before DialogEX was even in ams.

if you want something like that with cusomable bodys then i say buy his plugin played with a demo once and i say its worth it.

no ... I've only used her image to see where I want to show DIALOGEX ...

HIS image, lol


you just need to retrieve the size of the users screen, the size and position of the taskbar and the size of your dialog, a little math and you can place it where ever you want

anyone got a copy of my taskbar.dll for this guy

[RizlaUK]

forget the dll, install the memory plugin, with that you will never need a dll again, lol

get the taskbar size, pos with the below code, and work out from there where to place your dialog


Shell_TrayWnd = DLL.CallFunction(_SystemFolder.."\\user32.dll", "FindWindowA", "\"Shell_TrayWnd\",0", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);

-- create RECT Structure that have 4 long or int fields
local Struct = Memory.CreateStructure("int, int, int, int")

DLL.CallFunction("user32.dll", "GetWindowRect", Shell_TrayWnd..",".. Struct, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_LONG, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);

local rc={}

rc.left = Memory.GetStructureData(Struct, 1)
rc.top = Memory.GetStructureData(Struct, 2)
rc.right = Memory.GetStructureData(Struct, 3)
rc.bottom = Memory.GetStructureData(Struct, 4)

strText="Left:"..rc.left.."\r\n"
strText=strText.."Top:"..rc.top.."\r\n"
strText=strText.."Right:"..rc.right.."\r\n"
strText=strText.."Bottom:"..rc.bottom.."\r\n"

result = Dialog.Message("Notice", strText, MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

Memory.FreeStructure(Struct)
