How do I change the MessageBox location?

Question

I need to change the message box location. I don\'t want it to be in the center of the page.

MessageBox.Show(\"Hello\");

Since I already use AutoIt for several other tasks in my project so I just create another thread to move the Message box

using System.Threading;
using AutoIt;
//Namespace, class, function stuffs
//New thread BEFORE create message box - safety measure
Thread autoItThread = new Thread(delegate ()
                {
                    AutoItX.WinWait("New Message box");
                    AutoItX.WinMove("New Message box", "This box will be moved", 400, 300);
                });
                autoItThread.Start();
MessageBox.Show("This box will be moved", "New Message box");

Please note

• The coordinate 400,300 is absolute. 0,0 will be top left corner.
• This is screen-dependent. If you want to be exact, other code to determine location is needed
• This task is to change the absolute position of the Message box rather than move it.
• How to get/install AutoIt is not addressed here. Please look for instruction on that if you need to.
