    Default Force JDialog to Upper Right of Screen

    I think I need some new eyes to look at my code. Something I inadvertently changed is causing my JDialog to be centered on the screen rather than opening in the default location (upper left). Can someone spot what I am missing that is causing this? TIA.

    Default Re: Force JDialog to Upper Right of Screen

    Can you make a small, complete program for testing that compiles, executes and shows the problem?

    Remove all the external dependencies. Just the minimum that is needed to show the problem.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Force JDialog to Upper Right of Screen

    Thanks but I cannot reproduce the problem that way. It is specific to this code. There must be something in it that is causing this. As I said, it was working so I must have inadvertently changed something and I am probably seeing what I expect rather than what is there.

    Sorry, I need a program that compiles and executes for testing. Remove the dependencies one by one and test to see if the removed code was causing the problem.

    it was working
    Do you have a backup that still works as desired?

    Thanks. Yeah, I guess I'll need to do a diff on the 2 versions.
