    I hope the community can help me with this. I need to use the Visu Utils FbOpenDialog to control the opening and closing of a dialog. I have the Opening and Closing working, but I can’t get the dialogue's position to be controlled.

    The code looks like this:

    PROGRAM OPEN_DIALOG
VAR
    xOpenLatchSettingDialog : BOOL;
    TopLeftDialog : VisuStructPoint ;
    fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog   :   VU.FbOpenDialog ;
END_VAR


IF xOpenLatchSettingDialog THEN
        xOpenLatchSettingDialog:= FALSE ;
        TopLeftDialog.iX := 100;
        TopLeftDialog.iY := 23;
        fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog(sDialogName := 'visu_AlarmLatchSettings', xExecute := xOpenLatchSettingDialog , xModal := TRUE, itfClientFilter := VU.Globals.OnlyTargetVisu, pTopLeftPosition := ADR(TopLeftDialog));
        CloseVisuDialog(sDialogName:= 'visu_AlarmLatchSettings');
ELSE
        xOpenLatchSettingDialog:= TRUE ;
            IF fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xError THEN
                xOpenLatchSettingDialog := FALSE;           
            END_IF
END_IF

    I can't seem to work out a way to make the values in TopLeftDialog.iX and TopleftDialog.iY be passed correctly in the call and for it to change the position of the dialogue box.
    The code is compiled, but the position has not been changed.

    Any guidance or suggestions for revising this code would be incredibly valuable. Your insights could be the key to solving this issue.

    Probably best to call the FB continuously. So something like this could solve it:

    IF xOpenLatchSettingDialog THEN
    xOpenLatchSettingDialog := FALSE;
    fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xExecute := TRUE;
END_IF
IF fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xDone OR fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xError THEN
    fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog.xExecute := FALSE;
END_IF

TopLeftDialog.iX := 100;
TopLeftDialog.iY := 23;
fbOpenLatchSettingsDialog(
    itfClientFilter:= VU.Globals.OnlyTargetVisu, 
    sDialogName:= 'visu_AlarmLatchSettings', 
    xModal:= TRUE, 
    pTopLeftPosition:= ADR(TopLeftDialog)
);
