Getting item absolute position

[nick85]

Hi,

is there any easy way (or a trick) to get the absolute position of a widget?
I developed thinking that there was a property like this.

Thanks,

Nicola

Ok .. I built it in a function

function getGlobalY(startingObject)
{
    if(assert(startingObject, "[getGlobalY] Null starting object")) return;
    if(isNull(startingObject.parent)) return startingObject.y;
    if(!isNull(startingObject.isTop) && startingObject.isTop) return startingObject.y;
 
    var result = startingObject.y;
    var currentObject = startingObject.parent;
    while(!isNull(currentObject))
    {
        if (!isNull(currentObject.isTop) && currentObject.isTop)
        {
            // finished
            return result;
        }
 
        if (!isNull(currentObject.y))
        {
            // adding result
            result += currentObject.y
        }
 
        currentObject = currentObject.parent;
    }
 
    printWarning("[getGlobalY] Not reached top!");
    return result;
}

function getGlobalY(startingObject)
{
    if(assert(startingObject, "[getGlobalY] Null starting object")) return;
    if(isNull(startingObject.parent)) return startingObject.y;
    if(!isNull(startingObject.isTop) && startingObject.isTop) return startingObject.y;

    var result = startingObject.y;
    var currentObject = startingObject.parent;
    while(!isNull(currentObject))
    {
        if (!isNull(currentObject.isTop) && currentObject.isTop)
        {
            // finished
            return result;
        }

        if (!isNull(currentObject.y))
        {
            // adding result
            result += currentObject.y
        }

        currentObject = currentObject.parent;
    }

    printWarning("[getGlobalY] Not reached top!");
    return result;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Note: isTop is a boolean property of my topScreen ..

What widget do you mean? A QtQuick item? There is a mapToItem() function in each item that allows to map coordinates between items.

yes a QtQuick item.
Ok, I can use mapToItem but function is still necessary?

What function?
