@(Html.Telerik().Grid()
.Name("FormFildGrid")
.ClientEvents(events => events.OnEdit("Grid_onEdit"))

)

function Grid_onEdit(e) {
    var popup = $("#" + e.currentTarget.id + "PopUp");
    var popupDataWin = popup.data("tWindow");
    var l = ($(window).width() / 2 - $(popup).width() / 2);
    popup.css({ "left": l + "px", "margin-left": "0", "width": $(popup).width() });
}

My friend found out the easiest way of doing by using one of the unexposed inbuilt function of telerik grid

        var popup = $("#" + e.currentTarget.id + "PopUp");
        //get the data window contained by the popup
        var popupDataWin = popup.data("tWindow");

        //change popup title by calling the title 
        popupDataWin.title("Custom Title");            
        //center the window by calling the method center
        popupDataWin.center();

put this piece of code in client side on_edit api of the grid and you will see the magic

thanks guys for the valid answers. I know we can position a custom popup window but not for built in edit mode windows.

However I manipulated the position with jquery on the client side on_edit API of telerik grid. 

var popup = $("#" + e.currentTarget.id + "PopUp");

 popup.css({ "left": ($(window).width()/2 - $(popup).width()/2) + "px", "top": ($(window).height()/2 - $(popup).height()/2) + "px" });

e.currentTarget.id gives the gridname.

I have done this before using a custom popup using a separately defined Telerik Mvc Window. My sample code looked like this:

   <%= Html.Telerik().Window()
    .Name("CompanyWindow")
    .Title("Company Details")
    .Buttons(b => b.Maximize().Close())
    .Visible(false)
    .Modal(true)
    .Width(600)
    .Height(600)
    .Draggable(true) 
    .Resizable()
%>

<% Html.Telerik().Grid<Vigilaris.Booking.Services.CompanySummaryDTO>()
   .Name("CompaniesGrid")
   .ToolBar(tb => tb.Template(() => { %>
       <a href ="#" onclick="createCompany()" >Insert</a>
       <% }))
   .Columns(col =>
       {
           col.Bound(c => c.Id).Width(20);
           col.Bound(c => c.CompanyName).Width(120);
           col.Bound(c => c.ResponsiblePersonFullName).Width(160);
           col.Bound(c => c.ResponsiblePersonUserName).Width(160);
           col.Bound(c => c.ResponsiblePersonEmail).Width(160);
           col.Command(cmd =>
               {
                   cmd.Edit().ButtonType(GridButtonType.Image);
               }).Title("Edit");
       })
   .DataKeys(keys => keys.Add(c => c.Id))
   .DataBinding(binding => binding.Ajax()
       .Select("_IndexAjax", "Company")
       .Insert("_InsertAjax", "Company")
       .Update("_UpdateAjax", "Company")
   )
   .Sortable()
   .Render();
%>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function createCompany() {
        var url = '<%= Url.Action("New", "Company") %>'
        $.post(url, function (data) {
            var window = $('#CompanyWindow').data('tWindow');
            window.content(data);
            window.center().open();
        });
    }
</script>

You will notice in the createCompany function that I call window.center().open(). This explicitly centres the popup.

However, I don't think this is exactly what you want to do, but it may give you some pointers in the right direction. I hope it helps.

Not sure whether this can be done automatically with configuration option - now on the live demos the popup gets centered in the grid. My wild guess is that you can position it in the center of the screen with javascript...
