Get a position of a window

I have a small problem. I need to get a position of the main sketch window somehow. That is because I am using controlP5 and when I make another control window I need to place it above the current window. Problem is that I don't know how to get the position of the current window. Any help with this would be nice.

Hmmm, guessing.. but you might be able to get some info from "this.getLocation();"

I searched the old forum and found this thread.

Note that Processing has been updated since that was posted and you now need to explicitly import the Rectangle class with:

import java.awt.Rectangle;

Thank you blindfish! This works quite nicely.

@jeff_g: this.getLocation(); allways returns x:0, y:0 for me.
