How to position a messagebox

Does anyone know if there are any functions in VC++ to position a messagebox, or do i have to write my own messagebox class..?

I've never seen any.

One alternative is to create a window and paint the texts and position it according.

Use FindWindow and MoveWindow...here's a console example, I haven't tested if you need threading on an actual windows app yet, but here's how I did it...

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <process.h>

void MoveMB(PVOID)
{
        HWND hMB;
       
        while((hMB = FindWindow(NULL, "wow...")) == NULL);

        MoveWindow(hMB, 0, 0, 150, 125, TRUE);
}

int main(void)
{
        _beginthread(MoveMB, 0, NULL);

        MessageBox(NULL, "Look at this!", "wow...", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

        return 0;
}

You're going to need to enable Mutli-Threading for this to work...

In MSVC (Visual Studio), go to Project->Settings->Click the C++ tab. Change the "Category" dropdown box to "Code Generation", and then change the "Use run-time library" dropdown box to "Multithreaded".

That was a good idea, i thought about that myself, but never tried to get the windowhandle...
Thx!
