The XInitial property is used to:
  • Know the abscissa:
    • of a control (position on the X-axis) when opening the window or the page.
    • of a window (position on X-axis) when opening the window.
  • Change the X-coordinate of a control anchored "to the right" (position on the X-axis) when opening the window.
  • Get the X-coordinate of a control in relation to its block (position in millimeters on the X-axis) when opening the report.
Note The abscissa of a field or window corresponds to the X coordinate of the "UI" tab in the field or window description in the editor.
This X-coordinate defines the control or window position when opening the window, page or report.
Example
// Déplace le champ de 10 millimètres vers la droite
LIB_Titre.X = LIB_Titre.X + 10
// Restaure la position initiale
LIB_Titre.X = LIB_Titre.XInitial

  • Abscissa of specified element:
    • If the field belongs to a window this abscissa is expressed in pixels. When the window is opened, it corresponds to the horizontal position of the upper-left corner of the control, relative to the upper-left corner of the window's client area (i.e. the window without title bar, menu bar or borders).
    • If the field belongs to a state this abscissa is expressed in millimeters. It corresponds, when opening the report, to the horizontal position of the upper-left corner of the control in relation to the upper-left corner of the block.
    • If the field belongs to a page this abscissa is expressed in pixels. When the report is opened, it corresponds to:
      • WEBDEV - Server code the horizontal position of the upper-left corner of the control in relation to the upper-left corner of the page. If the control belongs to a container control (HTML cell, looper, etc.), the X-coordinate is given in relation to this container control.
      • WEBDEV - Browser codePHP the horizontal position of the upper-left corner of the control in relation to the upper-left corner of the page.
