Centering a wizard dialog [message #64356]

Hi,
How do you center a wizard dialog relative to the Eclipse workbench ?? I
used the getShell().setSize() method to resize the wizard and when I use the
dialog.open() method, it splashes the dialog at different locations
everytime I open it. I tried resetting the parent shell to PlatformUI's
active workbench window shell but it doesn't seem to work.

Any thoughts ??

Regards,
Sudarshan N Raghavan

Override configureShell(...) and call shell.setBounds(...). You should
be able to calculate the bounds by calling getParentShell() and using
its bounds. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it works
for me.
