Form coordinates:

int windowTop = this.Top; int windowLeft = this.Left;

Coordinates of any control relative to the main screen:

 Point location = someControl.PointToScreen(Point.Empty);
  • this.Top is for what type of this ? - VladD
  • @VladD didn’t have a WPF tag when writing a response, so this is for Windows Forms, as indicated in the question. - Yurii Manziuk

For WPF:

 button.PointToScreen(new Point(0, 0));

(where button is your button) gives the coordinates of the upper left corner. If you need the middle of a button, then

 button.PointToScreen(new Point(button.ActualWidth, button.ActualHeight));

For a window, substitute a button instead of a button .

    Try

      FindForm().PointToScreen(Control1.Location);
