Centering a form?!?

[monrobot13]

I must be going mental or something because I can't for the life of me get one form to center on top of another. It seems to me that this code should work, but it doesn't.

this.Top = (this.Owner.Height / 2) - this.Height; // I've tried both + and -
this.Left = (this.Owner.Width / 2) + this.Width;

but it never centers the form. What am I doing wrong here? - monrobot13

Your formula is wrong... Try this:

this.Top = (this.Owner.Height - this.Height) / 2;
this.Left = (this.Owner.Width - this.Width) / 2;

actually you should set the Location property. the top and left are old vb'er ways plus the form property has a center option property
