i need to make system wide hook, to make any dialog/msgbox windows
center.
since i am a vb6 programer, i need c++ dll to do this.
can some one help me where can i get free dll to use with VB6 and a
sample.

There are some free hook dlls (DS_) here.

i tried general system wide CBT Hook dll and fired at HCBT_CREATEWND
but if i use GetwindowRect() and MoveWindow() the dialog window is not
moving at all.

That's most likely a timing issue, iow you're probably moving it too
soon. The app creating the dialog or the default dlg proc itself is
moving the window after it's created. Try hooking WM_INITDIALOG with a
WH_CALLWNDPROC hook instead.


and any one know how to clear last window position in WinXP ?
No idea.
