Matt,

You can't control it natively under VFP unfortunately .... unless you use the coding I posted onto Ed's Profox board.

This gets a handle on the window and moves it to wherever you want.

Just looked and it doesn't seem to be there ... or did I not post it ... Mmmmmm!

Anyway, emailed it direct to you so check email

Dave

Subject: What controls MessageBox positon?

I have a dual monitor setup, and I have my VFP IDE window streeeeeetched

across both monitors. I have a few tools that I use from my IDE, and one of

them throws up a native FoxPro MessageBox(), but it appears in the center of

my *right* monitor, rather than centered across the entire window span, as

do all other MessageBox() 'es I've seen.

I cannot replicate this behavior from the Command Window, as each time I try

it, it appears centered across the overall window, as expected.

So I'm curious how the calling code (from the tool I'm using, which I have

not studied yet), could be causing the MessageBox() to appear farther off

the right like it is? I am not aware of any settings or flags that allow one

to specify where the dialog appears.

What's happening here?
