Positioning the Calendar Window under a button

Question

Hello,
I wanna show that calendar under the button i've pressed. something like here (so like LOVS, they are opened under the button pressed)
i tried with this code, in KEY-LISTVAL trigger for that text item
declare
     pozx number:=get_item_property('btn_data',x_pos)+15;
     pozy number:=get_item_property('btn_data',y_pos)+15;
begin
     --message(get_item_property('btn_data',x_pos));
date_lov.get_date('01-jan-1980',         -- initial date
                  'angajati.data_nasterii',  -- return block.item
                  pozx,              -- window x position
                  pozy,              -- window y position
                  'Data nasterii',    -- window title
                  'OK',            -- ok button label
                  'Cancel',        -- cancel button label
                  TRUE,            -- highlight weekend days
                  FALSE,           -- autoconfirm selection
                  FALSE);          -- autoskip after selection
end;     so i get the xpos and ypos of the button, and i add 15 because it's a square button of 15 px.
however, my calendar window it's wrong displayed.. what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi!
The get_item_property ( 'item', x_pos and y-Pos ) gives you the x_pos / y_pos of the position on the canvas.
The set_window_property ( 'window', x_pos and y_pos ) sets the position on the screen.
That is is a big difference.
