Someone please fast-track me... I have a complex and very component-ized interface. I'd love to create some elements that know how to "float" around the screen... For example how a combobox works. It takes up x and y space, but when activated the resulting "drop box" flies over everything.
How do I get reference to the "application" space to draw a new element in absolute space? Or is that the wrong idea in the first place. If I'm deeply nested in h and vboxes and want to fly something around, how do I do that? Any clues would be welcome. I'm sure just getting the first idea of how this works will be enough. Thanks
