Is there a possibility to change the position of an iLogic InputListBox?

Hi, following problem. We have one ilogic rule with different types of User controled boxes. 1x InputListBox 2x InputBoxes Both InputBoxes appears in the center of the screen. The InputListBox appears in the upper left croner of the screen. That's not optimal for the user 🙂 This problem only occurs when I call the rule via .net program in the User Interface. The Problem does not occur when I load the rule via runRule in the iLogic Rule Browser. Best Regards from Passi

Passi,

 

Did you ever find a solution to this?  I was searching for this issue and came across your post.

 

Thanks,

Randy

Hi,

 

no, or at least not until now 🙂

 

I asked Autodesk via Subscription Support request and this was the answer:

 

No, you cannot define the position of the iLogic form, it will always appear in the
last used position. You can resize the form during runtime by RMB in the form.
You cannot control the position.

 

So, it seems to be not possible to change the position. And what it means: "It will appear in the last used position", I cannot tell. Because I can move the dialog across the screen and it will never remember it's position.

 

Autodesk put my question into the discussion group but also with no result.

 

If you may discover something, please let me know.

 

All you can do otherwise is to put it into an normal iLogic form and fix the position by putting it in the area of the inventor browser. Then it's always at that position. But for my use it's not enough.

 

Best Regards

Apparently this is still a problem.  I just had Inventor 2015 reloaded on my machine and my iLogic form ALWAYS comes in on top of the main browser.  Wasn't like this in the previous load.  I always have to drag it out and reposition.  To the point response from Autodesk, it does not remember or retain its previous position.

I would assume this is as designed.

 

The point of the iLogic stuff is to provide quick, easy access to things for beginners.

 

If you want to control the position of it, make a WPF and set the options in there, then import the .dll you create with it for use in a rule.

 

Good Luck!
