The customer confirmed that this is not urgent or important, just something that would be nice to have in the future.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your swift reply and the additional information regarding the "why."

I have asked the customer how important this is to his implementation and will let you know how he responds.

Thank you again!

Hello Z,

short answer: Unfortunately this is not currently possible.

Longer answer: It would not be difficult to add more control over the location as a new feature (in a new version). Let me know how important that is.

The current design, however, uses something called "Windows default location" (learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.formstartposition ), whatever that is, to initially display the dialog. On subsequent invocations (when using the same UADataDialog object!), the position and size should be retained from the previous invocation (so, if the user decided to move or resize the dialog, it should reappear at the place and in size it had before closing).

Best regards

Centering UADataDialog was created by ZParham
One of our customers raised an interesting question, and I was wondering if you have any insight into how best to handle this.

When launching an instance of the UADataDialog, the dialog box is not centered on the screen. Is there a way to force this?

UADataDialog does not seem to have a property that allows you to set the location of the dialog box, since the Windows CommonDialog class does not either.

Have you seen any interesting workarounds for this, or do you have any ideas? In looking around online, I have seen some people suggest the use of another form, but I just wanted to check in and see if there may be a cleaner way or a property that I am missing for UADataDialog.

As always, thank you!
