FormStartPosition.CenterParent does not work

Question

In the following code, only the second method works for me (.NET 4.0). FormStartPosition.CenterParent does not center the child form over its parent. Why?

Answer 1

I'm using this code inside my main form, hope it helps:

var form = new MyForm();
form.Show();
if (form.StartPosition == FormStartPosition.CenterParent)
{
    var x = Location.X + (Width - form.Width) / 2;
    var y = Location.Y + (Height - form.Height) / 2;
    form.Location = new Point(Math.Max(x, 0), Math.Max(y, 0));
}
