Assuming you're using Cocoa, you can use the setFrame:display: method to set the frame, and then the frame method to get the frame of the main window and calculate the position based on that.

Are you talking about a dialog box from NSRunAlertPanel() or something like it? Because in that case, I don't think you're able to position it. You could always try writing your own alert box routine that would allow you to position it.

Thanks for responses.
Sorry for late reply.

I don't think you can with that function. You could try replacing it with NSAlert which has a window method. You might be able to manipulate that.
