Here's a fun one to solve...

I am blending a new report-running process with an old. I have no control over the old, and I want to center the Response windows (used for arguments) that are popped up.

The window names are stored in a table and dynamically opened per the example OpenWithParm shown below.
Then I want code in the "POST ue_center_lwin()" event to determine the name of the Response window and center it.

Posting ue_center_lwin() does seem to correctly run after the Response window opens.

This is not like looping the names of open sheets. I need to determine the name of the response window so I can do "lwin.Center = True", or anything else to it after it opens and before I've closed it to continue the code flow..

----------------------------------------------------
String ls_window_classname
Window lwin

ls_window_classname = // value from the database

This.Event POST ue_center_lwin()
OpenWithParm(lwin, dw_1, ls_string_assigned_to_lwin)
----------------------------------------------------

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi, Jason - 

How 'bout this?

Instead of using a variable with local scope ("lwin"), use an instance variable, "iwin"?. The OpenWithParm method will assign a reference to the opened response window in the iwin instance variable. When the posted uf_center_lwin function executions, it can access iwin and manipulate the response window.

HTH, John

Great idea to go 'Instance' I'll try it and let you know if it works. :)
