I'm writing a program that acts as a scheduler. You add appointments which are displayed graphically on the main window. I have a dialog setup to pop out in order for the user to input the appointment information. For some reason though, I am unable to move the dialog. This can be a problem, as any appointments in the middle of the screen will be covered and unviewable while the dialog is open.

I have already tried using different dialog styles and options to no avail.

This is the call I make to the dialog window:

(Toggle Plain Text)

DialogBoxParam(GetModuleHandle("scheduler-main.exe"),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_DIALOG_ADD),hwnd,(DLGPROC)adddlgproc,(LPARAM)&param);

And in my resource file, a snippet from the create dialog parameters:

(Toggle Plain Text)

ID_DIALOG_ADD DIALOGEX 20, 20, 227, 138
STYLE 	DS_SETFOREGROUND | DS_SETFONT | DS_FIXEDSYS | DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION
CAPTION "Add Item to Scheduler"
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 400, 0, 0x1
BEGIN
(etc...)

Should more code be required to know what is going on, I will gladly supply it. The amount of source code is large and I only wanted to post what was relevant.

Thanks in advance for help anyone has to offer.

Just at a guess, you'll have to double check the docs, I'd bet that DS_Center is setting the movable property of the dialog box to false by default. Hope that this helps.

Unable to move dialog after creating
