My new application is showing all message boxes (including progress) to the right hand side of the screen, with only half visible. Never seen that before.

This app is playing a lot with the responsive layouts (which previous ones weren't and they work fine there) so I guess it's something to do with that.

Is there any particular thing I should do in my form set up to avoid this?

Currently, I have main form that loads others inside it - the attached pic shows what I'm doing. The header and sidebar are the main form, and the "Clients" is the sub-form. You can just see the message box to the right.

I belive that the MessageBox show in the middle of the
Application.Surface not the current form.

Have you checked the size of your Application.Surface ?

What is the consumption of the main form? Should be none. I think you
can achieve this by consuming.

I'm running a laptop with an extra screen. The screenshot was from my second screen which I use as my main. The laptop screen is to the right, so it looks like it's showing dead centre for the two screens combined.

Application.Surface.Width is showing as 1920, the width of that main screen.

This is odd because no other application I have in EWB does this. It must be something I'm doing.

Matthew - you are absolutely right!

I don't know why I set it to Right consumption (maybe I was on the wrong control), but putting it to none fixes it.

Cheer, all.
