How to get the screen position of Visual Studio UI Elements?

Question

I am developing a Visual Studio Extension.

Is there any way to get the position of the IDE's UI Elements?

So for example I would need the screen coordinates of a toolbar item like the Run Application - Button.

As far as I see the corresponding UI Element Classes of the Visual Studio SDK do not provide any position properties...

Visual Studio UI is WPF, so you can use System.Windows.Media.VisualTreeHelper to enumerate and locate UI elements.
