How to get know the position of the widget within its parent widget

[cydside]

Hi to all,
I'm looking for a method to calculate a widget position nested in an unknown structure of parent widgets. Should I use a recursive function like the follow pseudo-code?

int findPosition(QWidget *wdg)
{
   static QPoint myPos;
   if (wdg->parent()) 
   {
       myPos += wdg->parent()->pos();
       findPosition(wdg->parent());
   }
   else
       return myPos;
}

int findPosition(QWidget *wdg)
{
   static QPoint myPos;
   if (wdg->parent()) 
   {
       myPos += wdg->parent()->pos();
       findPosition(wdg->parent());
   }
   else
       return myPos;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks in advance, Danilo


I've found a simple solution, as always happen

QPoint globalPos = ui->myWidget->mapToGlobal(ui->myWidget->rect().topLeft());

QPoint globalPos = ui->myWidget->mapToGlobal(ui->myWidget->rect().topLeft());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and it works!

Thank you for posting answer!!!!

I faced this issue:
When we place a widget inside several layers of widgets or frames then the pos() method of the inside widget starts returning wrong value. But your solution solves even that problem.
I thought that using pos() or rect().topLeft() are same but practically they are not.
