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 spaceCGRect 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];
Does UIView's convertPoint:toView: not work? So:
CGPoint windowPoint = [myView convertPoint:myView.bounds.origin toView:myWindow];
