Hi,

The given code is working fine. for testing, I have replaced the Point values with (100,100) and the window popped up. So please check these line of code

F.Location = new Point(comboBox1.Location.X+comboBox1.Width, comboBox1.Location.X+comboBox1.Width+comboBox1.Height+comboBox1.Width);

and verify the values of comboBox.

Update us the results.

Thank you.

.I want to appear the new window at the right side lower corner in combo box.

You have a mainForm. And then you have a comboBox on it. And when you select an item from it, a new form has to appear in the button-right corner, with some info in it. Am I correct?

I did a semple code how to position forms. This code bellow shows how to position a new form to all four corners of the mainForm:

namespace Feb13Exercise
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.comboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
            string[] array = { "top-left", "top-right", "bottom-left", "bottom-right" };
            this.comboBox1.Items.AddRange(array);
        }

        private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.comboBox1.SelectedIndex > -1)
            {
                string value = this.comboBox1.GetItemText(this.comboBox1.SelectedItem);
                if (value != String.Empty)
                {
                    Form2 f2 = new Form2();
                    f2.Size = new Size(250, 150);
                    int[]xy = CalculateFormPosition(value, f2.Size.Width, f2.Size.Height);
                    f2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
                    f2.Location = new Point(xy[0], xy[1]);
                    f2.Show(this);
                }
            }
        }

        private int[] CalculateFormPosition(string value, int f2Width, int f2Height)
        {
            int dev = 20;
            int x = this.Location.X;
            int y = this.Location.Y;
            switch (value)
            {
                case "top-left":
                    {
                        x = x + dev;
                        y = y + dev + dev;
                        break;
                    }
                case "top-right":
                    {
                        x = (x + this.Width - dev) - f2Width;
                        y = y + dev + dev;
                        break;
                    }
                case "bottom-left":
                    {
                        x = x + dev;
                        y = (y + this.Height - dev) - f2Height;
                        break;
                    }
                case "bottom-right":
                    {
                        x = (x + this.Width - dev) - f2Width;
                        y = (y + this.Height - dev) - f2Height;
                        break;
                    }
            }
            return new int[] { x, y };
        }
    }
}
