  NAME  rtSetReqPosition()

rtSetReqPosition (reqpos, newwindow, screen, window);

void rtSetReqPosition (ULONG, struct NewWindow *, struct Screen *, struct Window *); D0 A0 A1 A2

DESCRIPTION Sets newwindow->LeftEdge and newwindow->TopEdge according to reqpos.

Except for the left- and topedge 'newwindow' must already be completely initialized.

The newwindow->LeftEdge and newwindow->TopEdge already in the NewWindow structure will be used as offsets to the requested position. If you'd like a window at position (25,18) from the top left of the screen you would fill newwindow->LeftEdge with 25, newwindow->TopEdge with 18 and call rtSetReqPosition() with reqpos equal to REQPOS_TOPLEFTSCR.

Don't forget to make sure newwindow->LeftEdge and newwindow->TopEdge are 0 if you don't want to offset your window.

In case of REQPOS_POINTER you can use them to point to your window's hotspot, where the pointer should point. If you call rtSetReqPosition() with the left- and topedge equal to 0 you'd get a window appearing with its top- and leftedge equal to the current pointer position.

Note that the screen pointer may _NOT_ be NULL. If you have your own window open you can supply yourwindow->WScreen to this function.

The window pointer is only required if reqpos is REQPOS_CENTERWIN or REQPOS_TOPLEFTWIN. Even in this case you may call rtSetReqPosition() with a NULL window pointer. The positions will simply fall back to REQPOS_CENTERSCR and REQPOS_TOPLEFTSCR respectively.

INPUTS reqpos - one of the REQPOS_... constants usable with RT_ReqPos. newwindow - pointer to your (already initialized) NewWindow structure. screen - pointer to screen the requester will appear on. window - pointer to parent window or NULL.

RESULT none

NOTE This function is for the advanced ReqTools user.
