The container is on on one of the pages of the pageframe. What I did is in the INIT method of the form I dynamically increased the form and moved the pageframe down (by changing the TOP property value of the pageframe). All containers and controls on the pageframe moved accordinigly, no problem. But the coordinate of the button (as determined above) didn't change. That is, when user clicks on the button the popup menu appears much higher than the button. That is, the popup menu appears in the position where the button would have been had I not moved the pageframe down.

You may need to add the this.parent.top and this.parent.left to lnPosX/Y, all the way up to the point where the parent is the form itself - i.e. you need to get the coordinates of your object relative to the form, not to its immediate parent.

BTW, the value of a foxel depends on form's font, IIRC, so that may throw your calculation off... or I may be wrong, it's now eleven years since I last tried to use foxels.
