    How to set Desktop Window Start Position to Center of the Screen

    I am using the ext desktop control to an aspx page. It contains several desktop modules. For each module i have used desktop window control. In that control's property field 'InitCenter' i have written "true". What i want to do was - while clicking the Launcher, it will display the desktop window into the center of the screen. I thought this field might fix the issue but could not get any changes yet. Can anyone help me regarding this issue?

    Hi,

    The window is centered in the example below.

    Example

    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Ext.Net Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form runat="server">
        <ext:ResourceManager runat="server" />
        <ext:Desktop ID="Desktop1" runat="server" BackgroundColor="black">
            <Modules>
                <ext:DesktopModule ModuleID="DesktopModule1" WindowID="DesktopWindow1" />
            </Modules>
            <Shortcuts>
                <ext:DesktopShortcut ModuleID="DesktopModule1" Text="Shortcut" />
            </Shortcuts>
            <StartMenu>
                <Items>
                    <ext:MenuItem Text="DesktopWindow1">
                        <Listeners>
                            <Click Handler="DesktopWindow1.show();" />
                        </Listeners>
                    </ext:MenuItem>
                </Items>
            </StartMenu>
        </ext:Desktop>
        <ext:DesktopWindow ID="DesktopWindow1" runat="server" Title="DesktopWindow" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

    Thanks for the nice example. I haven't tried it in this simple way. Actually 'InitCenter' property does not causing such problem, right? I had two properies defined PageX="300" and PageY="50" which might have created the problem, right?

    Thanks once again.

    Sure, PageX and PageY are positioning properties and they breaks centering.

    The ext desktop control is legal ?

    if I want to use a control called "desktop" in my application, would it be legal? It obvious is a mimic of the Microsoft Windows desktop page. Thanks for your help!

    I think the question should be posted on the Licensing forum.
