Get mouse position in GeoExt

Question

The title says it all. I'm using GeoExt as part of OpenGeo Suite. I would like to display the current mouse coordinates.

Update: I was getting confused as to what parts of the code are GeoExt and which parts are OpenLayers.

Here's some code. mapPanel is a GeoExt object. mapPanel.map is an OpenLayers object.

var mapPanel = new GeoExt.MapPanel({ 
    // etc.
});

mapPanel.map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition());

Answer 1

As GeoExt is using OpenLayers for the map interface, you could use its MousePosition contol :
