Hi,

We are creating a site where we need to be able to store the locations of the open dialogs on the screen. We plan to do this by saving all the dialog´s locations in the asp_net profile.
In order to do this we need to be able to fetch the current location of all dialog on the screen.
We have checked the online documentation to find a client APi in the dialog to retreive the x and y location.
Is this possible, or do you have an alternative on how we should do this?

Hi Tomas,

There is no direct support on this, one way you can do it is by dealing with the DHTML directly:

Code: JavaScript 
var element = document.getElementById("dialog1");
var x = element.offsetX;
var y = element.offsetY;


Such code will give you the location of the dialog relative to its first positioned parent element. You can then save it on your server side. When you need to apply these values again on the server side, set the dialog's AnchorElementID, OffsetX and OffsetY property. Note you may need to adjust the value that you get from client side based on which element you use for anchor.

Thanks
