Is there any way to do it?

Passing a owner to the Show method will create a message box without a taskbar button, but it's screen centered instead of being centered according to it's owner... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Per Erik Lorentzen" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> To: "winforms-cs" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 10:50 AM Subject: [winforms-cs] Re: MessageBox Position MessageBox.Show(this, "Some text); The "this"-parameter is the owner of the MessageBox shown, here it will be the class where the code recides, but it could be an instance of a form to.
