How can I retrieve a control position ?

[Oliveira]

I am working on a software that has the feature to save screens. The screens controls and everything else are stored in .dat files.

I am in trouble trying to get the position of controls on the screen. Do you know how can I do it?

The position of controls you get with GetCtrlBoundingRect().
Have you considered using SavePanelState() instead?

This function SavePanelState looks great. It seems do exactly what I need. Is it possible to save a group of tabs with their controls which are docked and undocked?

Thank you in advance

Do you have any example that you can share?

Hi Oliveira,

take a look at this sample I wrote some time ago to save tab control panels. I uses easytab instrument instead ov CVI 8 tab control, but it can serve you as a skeleton for you to test and adapt to your needs.
