Description
The Get alignment command returns a code indicating the type of 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 |
Center | Longint | 3 |
Align right | Longint | 4 |
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
