By default, dialog boxes shown by the aaHistClientTrend control appear in the middle of the screen. This may be a problem in multi-monitor configurations where multiple screens are combined into one large logical screen. To avoid this, you can specify a screen position where dialog boxes should appear.
To specify a screen position for dialog boxes
-
Open the C:\Windows\win.ini file in your Windows folder using a text editor.
-
Look for the [HistClient] section. If no such section exists, create one.
-
Add the following lines to the [HistClient] section:
UsedFixedWindowPosition=1
FixedWindowPositionX=<XPos>
FixedWindowPositionY=<YPos>
where <XPos> is the horizontal position (in pixels) where you want dialog boxes to appear, and <YPos> is the vertical position. For example, FixedWindowPositionX=300.
-
Save the win.ini file and restart the Trend application.
Dialog boxes now appear at the position you specified.
