Hi Friends,

I have an interesting question for all.
How can i restrict a dialog box(Modal or modeless) to stay within the
application boundaries?

It should behave just like a CView child object which do not
go out of application boundaries.

I know we can do it with OnMove(..) event handling.
But, i wanted to know whether there are any other direct means
like by setting some properties to CDialog class.

Please help me with this. :)

Regards,
K ARUN KUMAR
