Screaming Eagles 101

Since the dialog does not have a location property or similar it seems I
can't get the dialog to show up in the center of my application (center
screen).

Really, nobody. It doesn't look like the kind of thing .NET supports.

Using a combination of message filtering and p/invoke, you can probably
relocate the dialog as it's shown. But as far as I know, there's nothing
built-in to do what you want.
