Is there a Function to get the x and y Coordinates of a Child Window by knowing it's x and y values in the Parent?

You mean screen coordinates? So if the parent window was at 200,200 on the screen and the child was at 50,50 on the parent, you'd be looking for the 250,250 ?

Exactly

OK - all you need for the screen coordinates of a window or gadget is to know its window handle. So if you have the child's handle, do:
and var\left, var\top will contain the X and Y coordinates on the desktop for the child window.
Code: Select all

That's fine for native PB stuff but Konne's been doing a lot of API stuff lately, which is why I answered as I did.

And Windowx etc doesn't work for Gadgets.
