Hello,

I'm trying to find the Location of a control in Screen coordinates.

I'm trying to create a Popup Box below the control. However, the popup
box has a different parent control.

I tried adding up all of the Parent.Top and Parent.Left coordinates, but
the Popup was off from where I want it (and should?) to be.

Thank you,
Brian Takita

Click to expand...

Have a look at the control's PointToClient and PointToScreen methods.
