[Suggestion] Absolute position of a control

[gouxim]

We already have:

Code: Select all

Vec3 CGameManialinkControl::RelativePosition

How cool would it be to have:

Code: Select all

Vec3 CGameManialinkControl::AbsolutePosition

In other words, it gives you the absolute position of a given control. Example usage is to allow real absolute positioning of any element in a page.

Wouldn't this be

Code: Select all

<element.PosnX, element.PosnY, element.PosnZ>

?
(and, isn't RelativePosition a property?)
Edit: yes, it is

[gouxim]

Nop, posnX/Y/Z are the position of the element relative to the frame it is in.

[konte]

hm, okay... Then I agree It would be much too difficult to calculate the absolute position by adding all the positions of the parent frames.
