convertPoint to window coordinates doesn't work as I expect

I need to know the absolute position of my UILabel in the window coordinates. This UILabel (in the code below, uil) is located inside a view at 34 x 174 y of the view coordinate system)

I see that many psay that convertPoint should be used to get the absolute values. But after convertion I get a CGPoint that is still at 34 x 174 y. While I expected coordinates referring to the screen window.

Could you explain to me what I am doing wrong and how to get the window coordinates of my label?

CGPoint cgp = [uil convertPoint:uil.frame.origin fromView:nil];

Thanks

The documentation for convertPoint:toView: says, "If view is nil, this method instead converts to window base coordinates." It sounds like you want that rather than fromView:.
