How to get a global position of a Widget in QToolbar?

[Xodiqus]

Hello!
I have the code:

auto toolbar = new QToolBar(&mainWidget);
toolbar->move(50,50); // random pos, but not (0,0);
toolbar->addWidget(new QPushButton("1-button"));
auto secondButton = new QPushButton("2-button");
toolbar->addWidget(secondButton);
qDebug() <<  secondButton->pos(); // (0,0) ok because there's local coords.
qDebug() <<  secondButton->mapToGlobal(QPoint{0,0}); // expected secondButton's global pos, but found toolbar pos. Why?

Also I had tried some variants of usage of methods 'geomtry' and 'rect' that followed to the same result. Using Qt 6.6.
How to get a global position of a Widget in QToolbar? Thanks.

but found toolbar pos

What does this mean? What pose do you get exactly?

Put your toolbar in a layout,
or use QMainWindow and addToolBar method.

@jsulm, English is not my native. We both know that short one is meaning 'position'.

Even then I really don't understand what "but found toolbar position" should mean in your context.

@Xodiqus It is clear to me what pos means. I asked what "found toolbar pos" means and I also asked what exact coordinates you get. If you want to get help then please provide needed information in an understandable way.

Not what I see.

QMainWindow mw;
mw.resize(300,100);
mw.move(400,50);

auto toolbar = new QToolBar;
mw.addToolBar(Qt::TopToolBarArea,toolbar);
toolbar->move(50,50); // random pos, but not (0,0);
toolbar->addWidget(new QPushButton("1-button"));
auto secondButton = new QPushButton("2-button");
toolbar->addWidget(secondButton);

mw.show();
qDebug() <<  secondButton->pos(); // (0,0) ok because there's local coords.
qDebug() <<  secondButton->mapToGlobal(QPoint{0,0});

QPoint(110,1)
QPoint(510,73) // pos relative to the screen pos ( 400+110)

I think it's important where you run this code.
I assume this code above is in MainWindow constructor?!

while @mpergand 's code runs after the widgets are shown and positioned on the screen.

@Pl45m4 , thanks for that you have answered!

No, there is the code in the main:

int main() {
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    Widget w;
    // the code typed upper. 
}

I don't use MainWindow.

Doesn't matter, Widget is a QWidget and you have that code in its constructor, right?
