Hi

Winforms-How can I make dialog boxes appear centered on MainForm? That is as opposed to be based on Normal windows default which renders them in the centre of the screen.

In my case I have a small main form that may for example be positioned in a corner, the the MessageBox popup is displayed what seems a ways away.
