windowcornerinitialize
EDGES
The windowcornerinitialize statement shifts a window to an edge or corner of the main screen.
Parameters
This statement has one parameter:
edges – List of edges you want to zoom to, choose one or two from TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT. May be upper or lower case. You may also add a coordinate adjustment, for example top+50 or right-36.
Description
This statement shifts a window to an edge or corner of the main screen. However, it only
does so if the screen size has changed. This is used by wizards to make sure that the window is positioned correctly the first time it is opened. But if the user decides to reposition the window, they can without this routine interfering.
This examples move the current window to one inch below the top right corner.
