Sometimes you need to know exactly where an element is.
Get window relative position
static Point GetPositionInWindow( FrameworkElement element)
{
GeneralTransform transform = element.TransformToVisual( null);
return transform.TransformPoint( new Point() /* Represents 0,0 */);
}
Get the bounding rectangle
static Rect GetBoundsInWindow( FrameworkElement element)
{
GeneralTransform transform = element.TransformToVisual( null);
return transform.TransformBounds( new Rect( 0, 0, element.ActualWidth, element.ActualHeight));
}
