Position custom form in relation to WizardForm position





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have created a custom form to display an options page, which I am trying to position in the centre of wherever the WizardForm is at the time an Options button is clicked. I have tried the following code, but it is not positioning it as described.



[Code]
var
OptionsWindowForm: TForm;

{ Show the Options window }
procedure ShowOptionsWindow;
begin
OptionsWindowForm := TForm.Create(nil);
with OptionsWindowForm do
begin
Parent := WizardForm;
BorderStyle := bsDialog;
Position := poMainFormCenter;
ClientWidth := ScaleX(400);
ClientHeight := ScaleY(140);
Caption := '{#AppName} Options';
ShowModal;
end;
end;


I also tried poOwnerFormCenter for the Position property and by setting Left and Top properties, which seem to be ignored.



Is there a way to position this as described?

          It indeed does not seem to work as expected.



          Though this seems to work:



          OptionsWindowForm := TForm.Create(WizardForm); { Make WizardForm the owner }
          with OptionsWindowForm do
          begin
          Position := poOwnerFormCenter; { Center on the owner }
          { ... }
          ShowModal;
          end;
