Tomasz,
I accept your challenge and take your word at face value. Is it
possible through AFL (by some OLE or other reasonable means) to read
the scroll position of the Parameters Window and set it again later to
the same position (after a Reset all button press)?
All I want to do is preserve the scroll position of the window after a
reset all. :-)
Best regards,
Dennis
