OBJECT SET TEXT ORIENTATION
| OBJECT SET TEXT ORIENTATION ( {* ;} object ; orientation ) | ||||||||
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||
| * | Operator |
|
If specified, object is an object name (string) If omitted, object is a field or variable | |||||
| object | Form object |
|
Object name (if * is specified) or Field or variable (if * is omitted) |
|||||
| orientation | Longint |
|
Value of object orientation | |||||
The OBJECT SET TEXT ORIENTATION command modifies the orientation of the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters for the current process.
The "Orientation" property, available in the Form editor, performs permanent rotations of text areas in your forms. Unlike this property, the OBJECT SET TEXT ORIENTATION command applies the rotation to the contents of the object, but not to the object itself. For more information, refer to the Design Reference manual.
Passing the optional * parameter indicates that the object parameter is an object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, it indicates that the object parameter is a field or variable. In this case, you pass a field or variable reference instead of a string (field or variable object only).
Only static text as well as non-enterable variables and fields can be rotated. If you apply this command to an object that does not support text orientation, the command does nothing.
In the orientation parameter, you pass the absolute orientation that you want to assign to the object. You must use one of the following constants, found in the "Form Objects (Properties)" theme:
| Constant | Type | Value | Comment |
| Orientation 0° | Longint | 0 | No rotation (default value) |
| Orientation 180° | Longint | 180 | Orientation of text to 180° clockwise |
| Orientation 90° left | Longint | 270 | Orientation of text to 90° counter-clockwise |
| Orientation 90° right | Longint | 90 | Orientation of text to 90° clockwise |
Note: Only angles corresponding to these values are supported. If you pass any other value, it will be ignored.
You want to apply an orientation of 270° to a variable in your form:
OBJECT SET ENTERABLE(*;"myVar";False)
// mandatory if variable is enterable
OBJECT SET TEXT ORIENTATION(*;"myVar";Orientation 90° left)
