Defining the start position for a dialog box

Hi

I am looking for a way to define the starting position for a common dialog box in C#, specifically for an instance of the class FolderBrowserDialog. I can't find a way to do this with managed code and I haven't had any luck with an unmanaged code solution either. I would appreciate help in implementing either one of these methods

Thanks for your help

I don't think there is a way to do that in managed code.

Can you not set StartPosition to "manual" and then assign Location to
wherever you want.... I haven't tried it but I guess your
FolderBrowserDialog must be inherited from Form and hence the above
properties must be available.

CommonDialog is derived from Component, not Form, so there is no
StartPosition or Location.
