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;
}

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?
