Hi,

I want to position my MessageBox in the center of the parent form and not in
the center of the entire desktop as seems to be the default.

How would I accomplish that?

Best regards

This can be accomplished using a Win32 dialog hook. I feel sorry, but I
don't have a working .NET sample.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Could please go into a little more details on using the win32 dialog hook.
I've never heard about that before. What should I look for?

Best regards Torben

Hi Torben,

There are wonderfull article hou-to-hook-messagbe box in MSDN. The author,
Dino Esposito it is not for positioning per se, but with a liitle change of
the code it can be done, I believe.

For the article follow the link below
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/11/cuttingedge/

The next is another article from the same author talking about windos hooks
and .NET

Hi,

I have the same question. Do you have sample codes that I can follow?

I looked at the article for windows hooks and tried to get it to work
without much luck.

Sample codes will be really helpful.

Thanks.

Hi David,
I don't have such a sample myself, but the articles I gave you have pretty
good working samples.
