Hi all,
I need to center the msgbox (example: Msginfo, MsgNoYes etc.) automatically on my windows instead of the screen.
I tried SetCenterOnParent(.t.) but this runs only for dialogs.
Any solution ? Thanks in advance
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlgInfo ;
ON INIT oDlgInfo:Center( oApp():oWndMain )Hi José,
your solution runs only with dialogs not with the msgbox functions.
The only running solution I have found is to make new function dialogs based for the msgbox functions.
Marco,
I've the msgbox functions redefined based on dialogs, and for this runs ok in my programs.
Regards,
Hello Josè.
I have the same problem of Marco. Is possible to see your functions ?
Thanks a lot.
Massimo
It would be great.
Thanks Antonio.

Still we need to implement a function to remove the hook.

The theme (Dialog, MsgBox) is so nice. Is this Win8 theme or standard screen? If so, can we make it the screen on other Windows version such as Win7 or WinXP.

Hi,
Should we call CenterMsgs() function just in main window or should we call before every MsgInfo function?
Hakan,
Just once at the beginning of your app.
And we should remove the hook before the app quits
