Get a View's actual location [message #466943]

I need to bring up a shell (modal dialog) that is exactly covering my
View. I have not had any luck figuring out how to do a getBounds() on my
View that tells me the actual location of the view, because when I create
a new Shell its position will be relative to the Display, not relative to
my View.

Thanks,
- Ryan

Have a look at Display.map(). This allows you to map between Control
relative coordinates and Display relative coordinates (in both directions).

That's exactly what I was looking for - many thanks.
