Massimo -
You can use my POS_WIDGET.PRO routine to position a widget at:
(1) the center of the screen; (2) centered within a parent widget;
(3) to the right of a parent widget; or (4) "cascaded" relative
to a parent widget, offset in X and Y by a small amount. You can
call this before or after a widget has been realized.
You'll need to add a line like this inside a local copy of CW_FORM():
ret = POS_WIDGET(base)
to center the widget onscreen.
You can get POS_WIDGET.PRO at:
