Card Placer Module

Precisely place card windows within the parent window.

A card windows point of origin is it's parent window's top/left content area and once a card is open the parent window's size cannot be retrieved, which makes positioning card windows cumbersome.

FileMaker's Adjust Window [Resize to Fit] step only constrain's the card to the screen. This module will keep the card window within the content area of the parent, which is useful when a card window should allow scrolling.

This module can also assist with placing a card relative to a named layout object. This is uefull when you want a card to open directly below a button the user clicked.

As of version 2.2.0, also supports Web Direct and placing document windows.

Status
