You know size of Popup, you know Size and position of Form, don't see why you can't calculate Right property to make it centered.
 
You are correct! It didn't seam to work because VB uses Twips and Popup uses pixes.
 
Here is how to center your popup on a form and
use it as a message box replacement:
 
 
Popup.Right = Me.ScaleX(Me.Left + (Me.Width / 2), vbTwips, vbPixels) + (Popup.Width / 2)
Popup.Bottom = Me.ScaleY(Me.Top + (Me.Height / 2), vbTwips, vbPixels) + (Popup.Height / 2)

Hi,
You know size of Popup, you know Size and position of Form, don't see why you can't calculate Right property to make it centered.

Good day everyone!

Has anyone tried using the PopupControl as a less annoying replacement for a message box under VB6?

PopupControl seems to have .Right property that doesn't allow it to be displayed centered to a form, for example.

Do you think it is possible to display the PopupControl centered to a form?
