Set popup position

Is it possible to set the position of a popup page when showing it? I have a room with three separate displays with a list of input buttons along the left side of the panel. Right now when you press the input button, that input displays on all three displays. What I'd like to do is add the option so when you hold the button in for two seconds it displays a popup page that lets you select an individual output. I could make one popup for each of the inputs, but I'd rather just reuse one.

Thanks,
Matt

    Not sure if I understand completely but if you are asking if you can move a popup around from code, you can't. You can have it pop up at a predefined postion, and you can have is slide, fade in etc. but once it has appeared you cannot programmatically move it around. It doesn't sound like that's what you need though.

    you can make a popup dragable. But this is done on the touchpanel, and not in code.

    You could use this:
    "'@PSP-&lt;popup page name>;<X coordinate>,<Y coordinate>'"

    This sets the popup effect coordinates from which it originates. You could change this according to which button is pressed. Just don't forget to give the popup an effect (slide in from left or something)

    So basically using that I can have a popup page slide in from the left, but I can set it to originate somewhere other than the absolute left of the screen?

    I am surprised we can not specify the x-y position of a popup at runtime. I could have used this on a number of occasions. :(
