MessageBox position?

Dan
How can I make the MessageBox window appear centered with respect to its
parent? Even when I specify this as the MessageBox owner
(MessageBox.Sho w(this, "dummy", etc), this does not affect the starting
position of the message box window, which always pops up centered in the
desktop. Is there a way to center it onto the owner window?

Thanks guys!

I have ordered the book .NET Framework Solutions, In Search of the Lost Win32 API by John Paul Meuller which I think will help answer some of my questions I have regarding making custom MessageBoxes, but that isn't going to be here for a few days. So, I thought I would ask you guys how to put one of hte standard MessageBox icons, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation, into my custom MessageBox. Thanks,

This is a restatement of an earlier post that evidently wasn't clear. I am building a custom MessageBox dialog that has, among other things, a few new button options (yes to all, no to all, etc.) and would like to make the dialog look and act like the standard MessageBox. Therefore, I would like to put in the message section the same type of icons found in the MessageBox dialog, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation. In another post here I had...

Hi: I am trying to create customized confirmation/error/etc dialogs in my application. Up to now we've been using MessageBox.Show and passing it the various necessary flags (buttons, icons, etc). By "customized", I mean I want complete control over the color of the messagebox, the position/color/size of the buttons, etc. Do I need to create a custom form from scratch, or is there a way to subclass MessageBox? (I'm guessing I need to...

One option of the messagebox object indicates it can be placed over a selected window rather than just appearing centered on the desktop. The function is "Overloads Public Shared Function Show(IWin32Window, String) As DialogResult" I have unsuccessfully tried: /// Dim winhandle as string Dim rtn as DialogResult winHandle = Me.Handle.ToString()
