iOS - Get location of a view in a window?

Use can use the UIView method covertRect:toView to convert to the new co-ordinate space. I did something very similar:

// Convert the co-ordinates of the view into the window co-ordinate space
CGRect newFrame = [self convertRect:self.bounds toView:nil];

// Add this view to the main window
[self.window addSubview:self];
self.frame = newFrame;

In my example, self is a view that is being removed from its superView and added to the window over the top of where it was. The nil parameter in the toView: means use the window rather than a specific view.

Hope this helps,

You can ask your .superview to convert your origin for you for you

CGPoint originGlobal = [myView.superview convertPoint:myView.frame.origin 
                                               toView:nil];
