Is there a posibility to choose where the API server window gets positioned when opened via the command line at start up? I have the impression that the window always puts its center to where the mouse actually is.

Regards,

Martin

You're correct about the window opening over the mouse position. If you want to specify the window position, you could use your programming language's function to position the mouse where you want the window before calling the API command.

That's one of the benefits of the API: we don't have to provide duplicates of all the normal low-level functions. You use the API just for the MetaEdit-specific parts of your program, and all the normal maths, window operations etc. are done with the familiar functions in whatever programming language you use.
