Relocating Modal Dialogues
For various reasons including timing problems, display settings, your desktop layout, relocation windows to the edge of the screen, and so on, you may find it necessary to relocate a modal dialog in Big Business to:
• Refresh a blank window
• Access OK of Cancel buttons that are off-screen
• Relocate a dialog to see information on a background window (3263)
Big Business 2.5 reduces the number of "modal dialogs," dialogs which require a response and prevent you for accessing other tools or applications until you respond. Many remain and may be problematic in the following cases:
• Display settings or timing problems which prevent the dialog from displaying correctly
• Repositioning of windows that results in a dialog appearing partially off screen
• Minimized (Windows) or Collapsed (WindowShade) windows
To relocate a modal dialogue:
• On the Mac, hold down the Control-Command while dragging the window to a new location.
• On a PC, hold down the Control key, and drag using BOTH mouse buttons.
To redraw a modal dialogue:
• On the Mac, go to the Apple menu, open About Big Business, then close it.
• On the PC, go to the Help menu, open About Big Business, then close it.
If the modal dialog is in the footprint of the About Box, it will be redrawn. Reposition the modal dialog to place it in the footprint of the About Box.
