The Y property is used to:
  • Find out the Y-coordinate of a control or window (position on Y-axis).
  • Modify the Y-coordinate of a control or window (position on Y-axis).
This property can be used on the controls found in a window, in a page or in a report, and on the windows.
Example
// Find out the Y-coordinate of "IMG_Image"
ResYCoordinate = IMG_Image.Y
Syntax

Finding out the Y-coordinate of a control or window Hide the details

<Result> = <Element used>.Y
<Result>: Integer
  • Y-coordinate of specified control:
    • in a window, this Y-coordinate is expressed in pixels. This Y-coordinate corresponds the vertical 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).
    • in a report, this Y-coordinate is expressed in millimeters. This Y-coordinate corresponds to the vertical position of the upper-left corner of the control in relation to the upper-left corner of the block to which the control belongs.
    • in a page, this Y-coordinate is expressed in pixels.
    • Y-coordinate of the specified window (in pixels). Vertical position of the upper-left corner of the window, relative to the upper-left corner of the screen.
    <Element used>: Control name or window name
    Name of element (control or window) to use.
    For a control associated with a Tab control, use the following notation:
    <Tab name>.<Control name>

    Modifying the Y-coordinate of a control or window Hide the details

    <Element used>.Y = <New Y-coordinate>
    <Element used>: Control name or window name
    Name of element whose Y-coordinate will be modified.
    For a control associated with a Tab control, use the following notation:
    <Tab name>.<Control name>
    <New Y-coordinate>: Integer
    • New Y-coordinate for the specified control:
      • in a window, this Y-coordinate is expressed in pixels. This Y-coordinate corresponds the vertical 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).
      • in a report, this Y-coordinate is expressed in millimeters. This Y-coordinate corresponds to the vertical position of the upper-left corner of the control in relation to the upper-left corner of the block to which the control belongs.
      • in a page, this Y-coordinate is expressed in pixels.
          Remark: The control must be overlayable, otherwise the change of the Y-coordinate will be ignored.
      • New Y-coordinate for the specified window (in pixels). Vertical position of the upper-left corner of the window, relative to the upper-left corner of the screen.
      Remarks

      Limits for the report controls

      The Y property cannot be used on:
      • a report,
      • a report block.
      Remarks
      • A control cannot be displayed outside the block to which it belongs.
      • The Height and Width properties are used to get the height and width of a report control or report block.
      Minimum version required
      • Version 9
