DialogEX bug/help

[kingzooly]

When I set the DialogEX to parent and set it to 0,0 the silly app takes this as nil nil any way around this? I need it to be flush with my flat windows but setting it to -1 or 1 leaves a see able line what's not acceptable.

Also how do I get the dialogex window to close when it loses focus/clicked away

I don't see the issue you are reporting.

1. Using a Quick Action, the DialogEx is shown centered on the parent window, so if it has the same size, it hides the parent window completely. If the DialogEx is two pixels narrower and shorter, then you will have a one pixel line "around" the DialogEx, which is actually the parent window showing.
2. Using Lua script, with DialogEx.Show(), as long as the parameter ParentCoordinates is set to true, you can ignore the X and Y parameters. Or setting them to 0 yields the same result - the dialog window is shown exactly on top of the parent on my computer, without any offset.

I will post a screen shot later, but the DialogEx box is not the same size its only its only the same height, I want the DialogEx box to be poss 0,0 but this is read a nil when you set it as true, so I can only set it as -1 or 1 this means it over laps the top of the parent and leaves a line at the bottom, had to reinstall windows so don't have it installed right now.

Also I need away to close the window when you are no longer clicked on the dialogex window, I am mimicing a CSS/JS menu what many websites now use to hide menus so when you click away I like the dialogex window to close again
