TWinControl absolute position

Hi there,
I've a form with a lot of panels, labels, TEdit component inside it. I want
to open a new borderless form just on the bottom right of a TEdit. How can I
determine TEdit absolute position (not relative to his parent)? I tried a
parent loop to get parents left / top until main form is reached, but it is
not accurate. How can I do?
Thx

Re:TWinControl absolute position

Have you tried ScreenToClient and/or ClientToScreen?
