JohnOne 1,589 Posted August 7, 2011 Admittedly its been a while since I read the help file regarding MsgBox. I had it in my head that if a hwnd param was given that the MsgBox would appear centered in its parent GUI. Obviously that is not the case. My question is: In what circumstances would passing this param become useful?

jvanegmond 297 Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) It seems that here someone asked the same question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/195593/why-use-a-owner-window-in-messagebox-show This person asked a .NET question, but I'm sure that in this case the .NET is just a wrapper over the WinAPI. Main reason: To ensure the MsgBox window does not disappear behind other windows. If a window can understand that MsgBox is one of its modal children, then it will be in foreground.
