Hi everyone:

I seem to be stumped by the simplest -- I have a Win32 program and I need to display a message box centered by the parent window. Here's the example:


Well, the problem is that it is centered in the middle of the screen and it's position has nothing to do with the parent window. I stepped through the entire AfxMessageBox() in MFC, which by the way places it's message box in the middle of a parent window, and found absolutely nothing.

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Are you passing a parent window handle, or NULL? If NULL, it has no parent window. At any rate, if you get the handle to it, you should be able to use MoveWindow. When you first display it, you should be able to get its handle by one of several mechanisms.

I'm using a handle to a parent window that is not NULL.

DaWei, it's a message box, I can't have a handle to it's window, nor I have access to it's message handling WndProc. The whole implementation resides in user32.dll.

Please don't tell me that I'll have to subclass MessageBox?
