Getting MessageBox to centre on application

[Pirmin G.]

Hi,

My C# application (form based, winexe) displays MessageBoxes at certain
times. At the moment it centres them on the screen; I want them centered
on the application.

This version (below) of MessageBox.Show should do this for me but I
can't seem to work out what the 1st parameter should be.

public static DialogResult Show(
IWin32Window owner,
string text, string caption,
MessageBoxButtons buttons, MessageBoxIcon icon);

MessageBox.Show( ??WHAT-GOES-HERE??,
"Text", "Text", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

I can't work out what the 1st paramaters variable should be.
'this.Handle' does not work.
Thanks and regards,

Pirmin

Havent test it but have you tried to add the Form of the main GUI in it?

Add
private Form mainform = new MyApp();
into the class

MessageBox.Show( mainform,

"Text", "Text", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);

Just pass this.
