PMJI,

Location is the top/left position of the control. I guess you need to also use the width/height of the control to adjust for the postion you really want....

So I'm wondering about from what point is the Location property on the dialogbox in relation to? Is there a property in the dialogbox form that tells it that location is in reference to? There's a Start Position property, but I don't know if that's it and if so, which setting is the right one in this case.

>>Hi Bob,

>>The trick is to get the location of your control in respect to the TopLevelControl, and also you have to use a new System.Drawing.Point. So, you need to do something like this:
>>
>>

>>Control o = this.MyTextBox;
>>int Top  = o.Top;
>>int Left = o.Left;
>>while (o.Equals(this.TopLevelControl) == false)
>>{
>>	Top = Top + o.Top;
>>	Left = Left + o.Left;
>>	o = o.Parent;
>>}
>>
>>SearchPopUp.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(Left, Top);

>>>I have a Windows Form, that has a Panel, that has a textbox/button combo on it. When I click the button, I'd like a search window to popup right next to the Textbox. I'm not really sure how to reference the location so that I can achieve this. I've tried the following code in the click event of the button, but it doesn't do seem anything.
>>>
>>>SearchPopUp.Location = this.Location;

>>>Any ideas? Thanks!!
