Suppose I have two forms, both of which have been created. At the moment I'm displaying form 1 with form 2 being hidden. From experience
I've found that the instant I hide form 1 and show form 2, form 2 will show in
the same place (and size) as form 1. However, if I drag form 1 to another
location before I show form 2 then when form 2 is shown later it will not appear
at the new location to which I've already dragged form 1. It will appear at the
old location of form 1 before form 1 was dragged. This causes a lot of annoying
'jumping' around of forms.
One would think it possible to obtain the new position of form 1, after it's
been dragged, and apply that to form 2 before it is shown, but there is no
subroutine such as fl_get_form_geometry. How can I do this to insure that my
form 2 will be shown in the same place and size as form 1 had after it was
dragged or resized?
