How to center MsgBox...

[Nigel V Thomas]

Is it possible to control the position of the MsgBox when it appears.

If possible I would like to to appear over any current form.

If not possible, has anyone any tips on writing your own MsgBox. I am
particularly stuck on the format of the message as in the height and width of
the message box

Hi Nigel.

Just write a normal WinForm, display it with ShowDialog, and you will be
able to set any customized presentation you would like.

That's not supported out of the box. You'd dig into the Win32 messages
using a Win32 dialog hook to position the message box yourself.
