C

The starting position for a dialog box. Allowable values are:

dropdown

Causes the Xdialog to open underneath the control from which it was invoked. This is typically used when you want an Xdialog to emulate a drop down combo box. Dialog_Title is the title of the dialog box. Control_Identifier is any text within the control definition that uniquely identifies it.

expandright

Causes the Xdialog to open to the right of the current control.

expandleft

Causes the Xdialog to open to the left of the current control.

remember=remember_name

Causes the last position of the Xdialog to be stored in the registry (in a sub-key called remember_name) and then the next time the Xdialog is opened, it opens in the same position.

relative, remember=sticky_window

Causes Alpha Five to remember the position of the dialog by looking up its position in the sticky_window sub-key in the registry.

Opens the Xdialog at the mouse location.

mouse,±N

Take the current mouse cursor position, then go N units (always in inches) to the left(+) or right(-) of the mouse.

±N,±M

Sets the absolute position of the Xdialog in units (always in inches). These must be numbers and cannot be variables.
