However, that won't help you here because when you use a Sd Dialog, IShield transfers control to the function handling the Sd, which will only return control after the dialogbox has been derstroyed again.
Therefore, unless you rewrite the Sd function (I wouldn't recommend it), there isn't any point at which you can obtain a handle with which to reposition the dialog box.

for somethings but I can't believe one of the options is not for the sddialogs.

szDialogName = "TestDialog";
EzDefineDialog (szDialogName, "", "", SD_NDLG_WELCOME);
bCancel = FALSE;
bNext = FALSE;
repeat
nVal = WaitOnDialog (szDialogName);
switch ( nVal )
case 9:
bCancel = TRUE;
abort;
case 1:
bNext = TRUE;
case DLG_INIT:
wWinHnd = CmdGetHwndDlg (szDialogName);
GetExtents (nvDx, nvDy);
_WinSubGetWindowRect ( wWinHnd, nOX, nOY, nSX, nSY );
nDlgWidth = nSX - nOX;
nDlgHeight = nSY - nOY;
nDlgPositionx = (nvDx - nDlgWidth) -10;
nDlgPositiony = (nvDy - nDlgHeight) -10;
_WinSubSetWindowPos ( wWinHnd, nDlgPositionx, nDlgPositiony, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE );
endswitch;
until ( bCancel || bNext );
EndDialog (szDialogName);
ReleaseDialog (szDialogName);

I have implemented this method in InstallShield version 2008 and it worked perfectly fine till date with 2008. However, the major concern I am having is related to the same problem in version 2010 of InstallShield Premier.
The moment I upgraded from 2008 to 2010, I started getting error about the SD dialog files (SdWelome.rul etc) I had copied from the the InstallShield folder. Now, I can't find these files in the current version (2010). Therefore, I can't customize this behaviour. DO you have any idea why this can't be achived in 2010?
Stefan,
I appreciate your effort and I have seen a couple of posts from you related to this. Could you please suggest a solution to this problem in version 2010? Also, I can't find the file "isUSER.dll" in the installshield folder. How can I get the code for various dialogs so that I can mention my coordinated using a window handle?
Regards
Prashant

Had posted this question on Acresso forum as well and found a suggestion. Now in Installshield 2010, there is a dropdown option in the main installscript code file (setup.rul). We can select the dialog code there.
