11.2.10 Displaying dialog boxes and message boxes on the same monitor that displays their parent window in a multi-monitor environment
This section describes how to enable a function for displaying dialog boxes and message boxes on the same monitor that displays their parent window in a multi-monitor environment.
- Specify from:
-
A JP1/AJS3 - View file (System common settings file)
For details, see 11.1.1 Types of customization methods.
- Specification
-
Use the following format:
jajsShowDialogsOnSameWindowDisplay={Yes|No} (return)
- When you specify Yes:
-
Any dialog boxes or message boxes displayed from their parent window or dialog box are positioned in the center of the same monitor that displays the parent window or dialog box.
- When you specify No:
-
All dialog boxes or message boxes are displayed in the center of the main monitor.
The default is No. If you omit this setting, No is assumed.
- Example
-
To enable the function for displaying dialog boxes and message boxes on the same monitor that displays their parent window, set this parameter as follows:
jajsShowDialogsOnSameWindowDisplay=Yes
- Cautionary notes
-
-
There are cases where a parent window is displayed across multiple monitors. If Yes is specified for the jajsShowDialogsOnSameWindowDisplay parameter in such a case, dialog boxes and message boxes are displayed on the monitor that displays the largest area of the parent window. If the parent window is displayed evenly across multiple monitors, dialog boxes and messages are displayed on the monitor that displays the top left corner of the parent window. If the parent window is located outside the display areas of all monitors, dialog boxes and messages are displayed on the main monitor.

The following screen and dialog boxes are not subject to this option:
