Description

The OBJECT Get horizontal 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 Form Objects (Properties) theme:

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