that another form belongs to your application?

If the other form is in your app then you can set the startupposition to manual. Then reference the
other forms top/left and height/width properties to position your form.

If the other form is in another app then you need to use FindWindow & GetRect APIs to caluclate the positioning.

Thanks for the replies. It's a form in my app. Im not sure how to position it thought. I'm basically trying to do:

on form load
thisform.position = otherform.position

if you get what i mean...?

Use this: or something like it

VB Code:

thisform.top = form1.top - form1.height + thisform.height
thisform.left =  fom1.width - thisform.width

where form1 is the other form
overlaps bottom right corner of form1

To position to the right side of form1:

VB Code:

thisform.top = form1.top
thisform.left = form1.left + form1.width
