Controls position from screen

[Bobillier]

Hi

is there a way to know the control position in reference to zero of the sreen (left top conner) and not front panel? I have try to calculate it from property without succes .

I'm a beet lost with all coordinate propertys (limite, masterbound,....) A small explaination (or a small drawing)of those differents propertys will be appreciate.

There is a method for the panel Class that converts a coordinate on that panel to a coordinate on the screen:

There is a concern, there is no clear way to get the 'owning panel' of a control.

I have a 'Get Owning Pane' VI on the CCT codebase that might get you started.

Please vote on my Idea on the idea exchange.

Thanks Ton have test it and your exempl is ok. It's incredible the complexity to obtein the pane from control.Just a control property for Pane will be enought, or change

the owner by the pane and not the Panel reference.

The question is now to know if there is same things for terminal on diagram (terminal position on screen).
