OBJECT SET COORDINATES 


 

OBJECT SET COORDINATES ( {* ;} object ; left ; top {; right ; bottom} ) 
Parameter Type   Description
Operator in If specified, object is an object name (string) If omitted, object is a field or variable
object  Longint in Object name (if * is specified) or
Field or variable (if * is omitted)
left  Longint in Left coordinate of object in pixels
top  Longint in Top coordinate of object in pixels
right  Longint in Right coordinate of object in pixels
bottom  Longint in Bottom coordinate of object in pixels

The OBJECT SET COORDINATES command modifies the location and, optionally, the size of the object(s) designated by the object and * parameters for the current process.

Note: This command is the equivalent of using the OBJECT MOVE command and passing its 2nd * parameter. 

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).

In the left and top parameters, pass the new absolute coordinates of the object in the form. These coordinates must be expressed in pixels with respect to the top left corner of the form. 

You can also pass absolute coordinate values in the right and bottom parameters, indicating the bottom right corner of the object. If this corner does not correspond to the corner of the object after application of the left and top parameters, the object is resized accordingly. 

Note: If you want to move an object relative to its initial position, we recommend using the existing OBJECT MOVE command.

This command only functions in the following contexts:

Example  

The following statement places the "button_1" object at the (10,20) (30,40) coordinates:

 OBJECT SET COORDINATES(*;"button_1";10;20;30;40)
