Hi,

I m new to Jade and want to know if there is a way where I can get a control position on a form. The control top and left properties are set to zero as the control parent is a sheet.

Use the Control::getFormLeft and Control::getFormTop methods. Alternatively you need to recurse up through the parents of the control and accumulate the left and top positions accordingly.

Regards,
Allistar.

Take a look at the Window::screenToWindow and Window::windowToScreen methods ? Obviously, these methods are inherited by the Control and Form classes.
