How to get Position of Child Widget

[DavidTveraas]

I want to get the position relative to the Canvas Panel of a Widget, even when it is the Child of another widget object such as a Horizonal Box or Vertical Box. I am able to find the position when the Widget is on a Canvas Slot, but I’m unsure on the nodes to get this with Parent Widgets involved.

This is what works without a Parent:

And this is the Widget I wish to find the position of when it is a Child of another Widget:

The word “Clans” is the Widget I need the position of. The method I am using can’t find the Canvas Slot but the Canvas Slot is the only node I know of that can straight-out Get Position. How would you do this? Thank you for your help.

If you really want to locate the child controls of Vertical Box, it is recommended that all child controls of Vertical Box be wrapped with Size Box. From their relative positions, it will be easier to calculate the final result.

But most of the time, we don’t do that. We might put Clans on a Canvas by itself.

I found a solution which satisfied what I was trying to do. I found this by trial and error using every node which would plug into what I needed.
