    I have this code: ui->dockWidget_2->move(MainWindow::geometry().center());
    I'd like to write instead of "center" the coordinates of the widget related to MainWindow..but I can't..

        @vale88 Well, you have to do some math here (I assume that "this" is parent of ui->dockWidget_2):

        int x = (this->width() - ui->dockWidget_2->width()) / 2;
        int y = (this ->height() - ui->dockWidget_2->height()) /2;
        ui->dockWidget_2->move(x, y);

          @jsulm said in Coordinates widget:

          int x = (this->width() - ui->dockWidget_2->width()) / 2;
          int y = (this ->height() - ui->dockWidget_2->height()) /2;
          ui->dockWidget_2->move(x, y);

          it doesn't work, the widget doesn't get its original position

            @vale88 I edited my original calculation as it was wrong. Also, what do you mean by "the widget doesn't get its original position"? Is this widget managed by a layout?

                @vale88 Did you store its original position somewhere?

                  yes but if write move(100, 40) I don't obtain its position relative to MainWindow

                    @vale88 I guess because it is inside a widget (central widget) not main window. How do you store original coordinates (can you show the code)?

                        @vale88 If I don't mistake, you must not use mapToGlobal because it converts widget coordinates to screen coordinates. If you want to move widget relative to MainWindows you must move to 100,40.

                        So real_pos = QPoint(100, 40);

                                @vale88 I suppose that layout is the problem, layout is placing your widget.
                                This explains because you can't position your widget as you wish.

                                    @vale88 Only thing that comes to mind is to move your widget out of the layout. If it is possible for your UI.
