MessageBox.Show() - specify location of where box should pop up?

I'm calling a MessageBox, and would like it to show up in the center of the form that called it, rather than the center of the whole computer screen. Is there a way to do this?

Normally no. You can create your own message box if you need that much.

that's correct. There unfortunately isn't a way of positioning the message box unless you create your own - simply just create a form, borderless and stick a label and a couple of buttons on it and make it act like a messagebox

Nah, Defaulr Message Boxes doesno support this behavior, You need to create your own using Form setting some properties like BorderStyle = FixedSingle, ControlBox = false, put some Labels and buttons and Associate Dialog Results with those buttons.

Cheers ;-)

The people that replied are correct.

You could create a form that looks exactly like the MessageBox and change the Location property.

It can be done with VB. So I'd imagine C# will also do it. Not "easy" tho...

If you do a search for "messagebox" at the above url.....the first item returned is the VB code to do it.

good luck.
