Access the position of a Control node

Mor0s

I have this tree structure :

And I would like to access ImageSceneContainer top left position relative to Canvas within TopRuler script

I looked at the inspector while tweaking the nodes and the variable rect_position seems to be the one I am looking for. Therefore I wrote this to access it : onready var target_top_left_corner = $"../ImageSceneContainer".rect_position

However the values written in target_top_left_corner are the margin_left and margin_top

Those are the values shown in the inspector :

Am I missing something ? I really hoped it was as straight forward as just getting the value but I guess it isn't and still have to learn.

My question is still unanswered but for now I came up with a simple fix which is simply to convert the margin relative to the anchor to the coordinate relative to the parent however I am still intrigue and I wish I'd know what I did wrong in the first place.

Here is the code :

func relative_to_parent_coord()->Vector2:

	var x = $"../Sibling".anchor_left * $"..".rect_size.x + $"../Sibling".margin_left
	var y = $"../Sibling".anchor_top * $"..".rect_size.y + $"../Sibling".margin_top
	
	return Vector2(x, y)

Here is an update on my problem, so it appears that when trying to access this variable in the _ready() function the value is (-182, -129) although from the _draw() function it becomes : (206, 113.200012) my guess is the engine set the value depending on the surrounding controls nodes and it does that between the _ready() and _draw() calls (I don't know when exactly).
