Meh. I'm a Windows developer of many years who's given up on M$ so I
have assumptions about GUI programming that are extremely hard to lose
:)

I have  two gridviews on two different forms. When the user right
clicks on one gridview row on the main form I want to pop the other
form and gridview right where they clicked.

I should be able to live with control-relative coordinates.
