I noticed that Servoy developer remembers the size of a dialog while the app is open. After a close and re-open the sizes of the dialog are back to default. Not much of an issue, I can play with preferences for this! On that form I have a control with all four sides (l,t,r,b) locked to the form. When I do an openFormInDialog, close the dialog and re-open the control that control lost it’s locking until I resize the window (a little bit). It then locks itself again! ---

Adding to this, application.getWindowHeight() and application.getWindowWidth() does not work on a form in dialog… Any suggestions that may help? ---

“window” is the main window, a dialog is sized based on the showing From size ---

It’s actually a good idea to also have these methods work for a visible dialog, will be so in Servoy 2.2.1 final ---

Without testing myself and just to make sure I get this right: does this mean that getWindowHeight/Width will now return the size of a form that is shown in a dialog? So using those you can now save dialog sizes per user? ---
