Hi,

How can i get a pointer to one of my GUI everywhere in the C++ ?

Something like that:
GuiControl* myGUI = AllGUIManager->GetByName("MyControlName");

Thanks

GuiControl * myGui = NULL;
if(!Sim::findObject("MyControlName", myGUI))
{
   Con::errorf("Can't find it!");
   return;
}
Point2I pos = myGui->getPosition();
or
GuiControl * myGui = dynamic_cast<GuiControl *>(Sim::findObject("MyControlName"));
if(myGui == NULL)
{
   Con::errorf("Can't find it!");
   return;
}
Point2I pos = myGui->getPosition();

Gui names are the "public" names for whole SimObject "family". And it should be unique.
You can't do this:
new SimGroup(myCustomName);
new GuiControl(myCurtomName);
