Sometimes, the most simple things can become so complex. When all you really want is to center a window, you don't want to think about all the dividing of width and height and stuff - at least not beyond the first time.

In 2010 I released a video article titled "Window Centering The Easy Way". This video is an extension of that article and includes updated custom functions and more information about how to take advantage of these useful functions - especially in today's ever expanding world of devices.

This video and the technique file can easily be copied into your own solution for a drop-dead simple implementation of window centering. Once you've got the basics of how it works, you'll wonder why you've coded without it.
