Positioning Datepicker

phhess

When implementing the DatePicker on a dialogbox for date selection what's the best way to position the dialogbox so it displays relative to the date editbox or editable cell on the parent form?

My suggestion is to look at the source code for Popup_Month since it does this already. If you look at the StartWindow gosub you'll find logic that calculates the x/y position that you'll pass into the Dialog_Box function.

We wrote our own replacement for Popup_Month using the SRP DatePicker control. Rather than reinvent the wheel we started with this code and adapted as needed.

That's what I've done in the past, used POPUP_MONTH. I was wondering if you used a different approach with the SRP Datepicker. Thanks
