I don't understand, does not the code in the tutorial work in your case?

(int offset = (edgeCount * 50) - 100;
topicRequest.setLocation(p.translate(100, offset));)

Of course there are more elegant ways to do it as well..

Regards,

Tomas

Yes, but this example is for popupmenu.
I want to do the same but when a choose a element from the toolbar, and when
a click in the container element, it set a location programatically for me.

Thanks
