You will have to calculate the screen position for the dialog based on the
position of the parent. You can get the client window of the parent,
convert it to the screen coordiants (using ClientToScreen)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/92hfya22(VS.80).aspx then base
moving the child window on that rect. There is a small example in that
link.

Hi,

I am sure I have seen this question asked before, but I cant seem to find
a solution to my problem.
I want to programmatically centre my child dialog in the centre of the
parent window, and cant seem to find a sample to explain how to do this.
I have tried SetWindowPos in the OnInitDialog, but the default X pos and Y
pos coordinates seem to override the CRect left and top positions I have
calculated.

Can someone help me to position the child please.

I'm running Visual C++ .Net

TIA

Tony
