Hi all

I'm trying to center a message dialog on the frame that invoked it.

debugging it i found strange values for dlg Rect and Size
>>>dlg.Rect
wx.Rect(0, 8191, 285, 14895)

>>> dlg.Size
wx.Size(-27211, 55098)

Any clue ?

wx.MessageDialogs are not a real wx.Dialog. They are just simple wrappers around the system API that shows the system dialog, so most things that you can do to a wx.Dialog are not valid. If you need to have different behavior than what is provided by default then you'll need to derive your own class from wx.Dialog.

Ok.
Unfortunately, in documentation I read that it is derived from wx.Dialog and so i supposed that there was a full inheritance.

Thank you.
