Centering of the File Copy Animation

[Jeong]

I implemented File Copy Animation by SHFileOperation API function.
But the Window displays on the top-left side of the window.
How can I center the animation window?
Could anyone who know it let me know the way?
Thank you.

This is kind of a hack but it works... I'll leave it up to you to calculate your X and Y values to center it on your form...

Only a pity I am already out of votes. Hope someone else would rate you here and there...
Have a nice day.
