Get Form position on screen

Hi all

Is there a way in which I can get the Form's position on the screen in
pixels? I am having to position another form in relation to an MDI Child
form, so I cannot use the Location property, because the MDI Child is
usually 0,0 (Top left in the parent container) so if I position my other
form in that location it goes to the top left of the entire screen. I have
tried using the overloaded ShowDialog method to make the MDI Child form the
parent of my other form and set the StartPosition to CenterParent, but this
does not work, it places the form in the centre of the screen. Anyway, I
don't want it to be exactly in the middle, so I do need to set it manually.

What I would like is simply a way of finding out where on the screen,
regardless of who owns the form, a particular form's position is.

Kind Regards,
Steve
