Position of dialogbox container relativ to popup screen

[Martin-S]

I try to position a dialogbox container right under a popup-screen.

The popup is created via

call screen ... starting at X Y.

So the popup appears with coordinates (X,Y) relativ to the underlying dynpro.

Now I want to display a dialogbox container 'near' that popup. When calling the create object <dailogbox> I can specify some coordinates (parameters left, top).

But these are in pixels and absolute ccordinates on the screen.

So, how can I calculate some coordinates for the dialogbox to get it near the popup?

Thanks for any help.

mention the "ending at a b" coordinates also.

so that u can know where the pop-up ends.

give the dialoge box coordinates as "a+1 y".

bharat.

Hi bharat,

this is not the point (also without the 'ending at' you can get the size of the popup out of sy-srows/sy-scols).

My problem ist the differing reference:

- popup: coordinates are relative to dynpro from which the popup is called

- dialogbox: coordinates are relative to the entire screen, i.e. the upper left corner of the screen (not the dynpro window).
