Hi,

I would like to center the SHBrowseForFolder window over the window that it
was called from.  I have code that can position the window, but I cannot
figure out where and when to execute that code.

The problem is that to correctly position the window, I must know its size
first.  Unfortunately, the browse window always opens to its minimum size,
and then updates its size only after all of the initialization has occured.
Thus, if I try to execute my centering code from anywhere within the
BrowseCallbackProc function, it is always too early because the window's
size has not been updated yet.

I was hoping I could post a custom message that would be received by
BrowseCallbackProc, but I don't see an obvious way to do that.

Does anyone know how I can execute some custom code after the browse window
has been displayed and initialized?

- Dennis
