Hello World

[seanbo]

I've just started using Visual Studio.net and C#. I'm writting a HelloWorld app. I have A window with a button in it, when you press the button a message box appears with hello world in it. i use the method 'show' like this:

MessageBox.Show(this, "Hello World!", "Message"

the box appears in the middle of the screen, not over its parent, as i though 'this' would specify. how can i make it appear in the correct place?

There aren't any overloads for the .Show method to cause the MessageBox object to appear in a specific location (at least in the v1.0 docs I have). All it does is ensure that the dialog appears on top (ahead of the other window in the Z-order). Sorry.

But you could write your own small form that acted like the MessageBox that did you want.

GoodMessageBox extends MessageBox.
