Hi,
did you try to use the getAbsoluteLeft() or getAbsoluteTop() methods
of the widget class?
So you could query those for the child widget and for the absolute
panel and simply substract both in order to get the relative position
of the widget inside the panel.
also if the widget is a direct child of the absolute panel you might
want to have a look at
/**
* Gets the position of the left outer border edge of the widget
relative to
* the left outer border edge of the panel.
*
* @param w the widget whose position is to be retrieved
* @return the widget's left position
*/
public int getWidgetLeft(Widget w) {
