Forms

Startup Position

You can set the startup position by changing the StartUpPosition property. This can be set to:

0 - Manual (you specify the startup position by changing the forms top and left properties)
1 - Center Screen (the form appears in the centre of the screen)
2 - Center Owner (the form appears in the centre of its owner window)
3 - Windows Default (the form appears in the windows default position)

You can also change the WindowState property. This will change whether the form first appears normal, minimized or maximized.
