Summary:

The Windows dialog-box style DS_ABSALIGN (used in WINDOWS.H) means

"Dialog Style ABSolute ALIGN." Specifying this style in the dialog

template tells Windows that the dtX and dtY values of the DLGTEMPLATE

struct are relative to the screen origin, not the owner of the dialog

box. When this style bit is not set, the dtX and dtY fields are

relative to the origin of the parent window's client area.

Use this term if the dialog box must always start in a specific part

of the display, no matter where the parent window is on the screen.
