Is it possible to change the "AutoPosition" attribute of an LWindow
dynamically before it is created?

In other words, the WIND Resource type provide these constants:

noAutoCenter = 0x0000,
centerMainScreen = 0x280a,
alertPositionMainScreen = 0x300a,
etc.

You can select one of these in LWindow's Inspector (in Constructor).
Can you change this on the fly before you create the windows through code?

If someone knows how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated.
I spent several hours so far attempting to understand and track this down,
but it's not clear to me at all whether this is even possible.

Thanks,
Stephen Kay
