Hi!
A relatively trivial matter; ref: wxWidgets Manual (CHM):
wxWindow::GetPosition
and
wxWindow::GetSize
Which gives you the necessary cartesian parameters. Attached is a modification of the original zip with "relative" positioning added.
You may also want to consider alternatives to creating separate windows, which some users find distracting. Some users prefer to have all elements "contained" within the main window. However, even in that paradigm, the positioning method(s) would remain the same.
HTH:
