I'm looking at v2 of the VCL components under D7 & D2010 and am looking for a solution to position an open (or save) dialog properly on a multi-monitor system.

Setting the ApOpenDialog1.CustDlgParams.Position := dpOwnerFormCenter works pretty closely to what I need. However, if the owner form is located near the left side (Screen.Monitors[x].Left) if the 2nd or subsequent monitors & the owner form is narrower than the ApOpenDialog, the ApOpendialog "bleeds" onto the the adjacent monitor.

I was looking for X, Y (Top, Left) coordinates for the ApOpenDialog but can only find references to the ShiftX, ShiftY properties, which would be helpful if I knew what the actual Left & Top coordinates of the created ApOpenDialog are.

Can you provide a hint on how to accomplish this?

BTW, the downloaded trial version demo program that launches right after installation of the components AV's on XP (from the trial downloaded today 4/14/2010).

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Regarding the "FitToScreen" property, I tried that and when the host (owner) form is located on the 2nd monitor, the open dialog appears on the 1st monitor (Screen.Monitors[0]) aligned to its right edge. So unless the dialogs are redone to account for multiple monitors, that property won't help.

I'll look for the update that adds the user-defined position possibility - however, my preference would be that the Position := dpOwnerFormCenter would account for the original problem I mentioned and "slide" the dialog as necessary to keep it on whichever monitor it is launched from.
