Center MessageBox C#

Hi together,

I am trying to center a MessageBox based on the form wich is calling the
Show method. This means:
After calling the Show() method I don't want the dialog window in the center
of the desktop instead
I want it in the center of my form.

I have already tried to pass the actual form object as a parameter to the
Show() function with
no better result (e.g. MessageBox.Show (this,"Test")) -> it's still in the
center of the desktop.

Is there anybody who can help me?

Gruß

You cannot. In order to do what you want you must create your own modal
panel and move its location in your custom code.

I have a strange situation. A simple call to MessageBox.Show("XXX", "YYY") does not display the message in the messagebox with a visible font. Based on the content of the messagebox, the box sizes properly so I know there is a message in there. I also found a keyboard shortcut where <ctrl>+<insert> will copy the contents of the messagebox to the clipboard in plain text. I see my messagebox text in the clipboard contents but not in the...

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...

I'm having a strange problem (or at least it seems strange to me) trying to display a MessageBox in a VC++ .NET forms application. If I put the call to MessageBox::Show in the form's .h file, it works just fine. If I put the call in the .cpp file, I get the following two errors: error C2653: 'MessageBoxA': is not a class or namespace name error C2660: 'System::Windows::Forms::Control::Show': function does not take

I have a logical drawing space much bigger than the viewport (the screen) and I'd like to center the viewport (the screen) to be at the center of the logical drawing space.

Here is what I do now (it's awkward but it works): 1) I follow the transforms specified on Bob Powell's...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
