Positioning the messagebox on the screen

[amills]

Is there a way to position the messagebox at a certain screen location ?

No, not with the Windows messagebox. You may be able to find one that someone has built and made available, or you can build your own version.

amills,

I have to agree with BPeisch. Eventhough actually there is a way, but the workaround doesn't looks good. It is better to get the API wrapper or make your own VFP version.

Look at this: thread184-748784.
It's a working example to positioning the messagebox, also there are jimoo's FAQ to make your own VFP messageBox

Amills,

Another possibility would be to write your own MessageBox() function, which would display a custom modal form. You can make it look like a standard message box, but as it would be an ordinary VFP form, you could control all its properties, including its position on the screen.

You can take a look at faq184-2033 "A replacement to the native messabox()", and change to position of the class to whatever suit your need.
