Yes. And to clarify my earlier point, anyone who does not run Chandler maximized to the whole display will find it disconcerting to see the dialogs popping away from where they are focusing their attention. But I also realized CenterOnParent() would not help in your scenario, because the dialogs would just stack on top of each other, albeit all centered on Chandler. Dialogs should center on Chandler, except when there already is such a window their placement should cascade. I wonder if Center() method does that, or would they cascade automatically if you didn't call anything? -- Heikki Toivonen
