<![CDATA[Positioning of QMessageBox::information]]>Using following code:

QString message{ tr("Total stacking time: %1").arg(exposureToString(elapsed.count())) };
QMessageBox::information(this, "DeepSkyStacker", message, QMessageBox::Ok, QMessageBox::Ok);

*this is a QWidget. Messagebox doesn't appear in front of it though - it opens near to top left of desktop.

What am I missing?

If it helps any here's the code that sets things up once the initial CDialog subclass is opened.

"*this" in the question is the stackingDlg object of class type DSS::StackingDlg which is a QWidget sub-class

BOOL CDeepStackerDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	CDialog::OnInitDialog();
	CRect rect;
	GetWindowRect(&rect);

	widget = new QWinWidget(this);
	QVBoxLayout* verticalLayout { new QVBoxLayout(widget) };
	verticalLayout->setObjectName("verticalLayout");

	splitter = new QSplitter(Qt::Horizontal, widget);
	splitter->setObjectName("splitter");

	explorerBar = new ExplorerBar(splitter);
	explorerBar->setObjectName("explorerBar");
	splitter->addWidget(explorerBar);

	stackedWidget = new QStackedWidget(splitter);
	stackedWidget->setObjectName("stackedWidget");
	splitter->addWidget(stackedWidget);

	stackingDlg = new DSS::StackingDlg(stackedWidget);
	stackingDlg->setObjectName("stackingDlg");

	stackedWidget->addWidget(stackingDlg);
	stackedWidget->setCurrentWidget(stackingDlg);

Thanks, David
