OBJECT Get alignment 


 

OBJECT Get alignment ( {* ;} object ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
in If specified, object is an Object name (String) If omitted, object is a field or a variable
object  Form object in Object name (if * specified), or Field or variable (if * omitted)
Function result  Longint in Alignment code

The OBJECT Get alignment command returns a code indicating the type of horizontal alignment applied to the object designated by the object and * parameters.

If you specify the optional * parameter, you indicate an object name (a string) in the object parameter. If you omit the * parameter, you indicate a field or variable in the object parameter. In this case, you specify a field or variable reference (field or variable objects only) instead of a string.

Note: If you apply the command to a group of objects, only the alignment value of the last object is returned.

The returned code corresponds to one of the following constants located in the Object alignment theme:

Constant Type Value
Align default Longint 1
Align left Longint 2
Align right Longint 4
Center Longint 3

The form objects to which alignment can be applied are as follows: 

  • Scrollable areas
  • Combo boxes
  • Static text
  • Group areas
  • Pop up menu/Drop-down lists
  • Fields
  • Variables
  • List boxes
  • List box columns
  • List box headers
