Hi all i have a problem
I have a connection screen that I want to center compared to the size of the screen of my windows computer.
I wrote a procedure

PROCEDURE redim_win (win_name in varchar2)IS
win_id window;
mdi_width number;
win_width number;
BEGIN
  win_id:=find_window(win_name);
  ---mdi_width:=get_window_property('FORMS_MDI_WINDOW',width);
  win_width:=get_window_property(win_id,width);
  set_window_property(win_id,x_pos,(win_width)/3);
END;

But the screen is not dynamically centered. Because when I run on another computer the home screen is no longer centered.

Please, I need help

I doubt that ""x_pos,(win_width)/3" could center the window to anything.
Why "(win_width)/3" which set the position to one third of the screen would center?
The correct formula is "(screen_width-win_width)/2".
