XInitial is used to:
  • Find out the X coordinate:
    • of a control (position on X axis) when opening the window or the page.
    • of a window (position on X axis) when opening the window.
  • Modify the X coordinate of a control anchored "to right" (position on X axis) when opening the window.
  • Find out the X coordinate of a control in relation to its block (position in millimeters on X axis) when opening the report.
Remark: The X coordinate of a control or window corresponds to the X coordinate specified in the "UI" tab, in their description window.
This X coordinate defines the control or window position when opening the window, page or report.

Syntax

Finding out the X coordinate of a control or window Hide the details

<Result> = <Element used>.XInitial
<Result>: Integer
  • X coordinate of specified element:
    • If the control belongs to a window: this X-coordinate 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 control belongs to a report: this X coordinate is expressed in millimeters. It corresponds, when opening the report, to the horizontal position of top left corner of control in relation to the top left corner of block.
    • If the control belongs to a page: this X-coordinate is expressed in pixels. It corresponds, when opening the report, to:
    • WINDEVUniversal Windows 10 App X-coordinate of window (in pixels) when it is opened. Horizontal position of top left corner of window in relation to the top 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, use the following notation:
    <Tab name>.<Control name>
    WINDEVUniversal Windows 10 AppJavaUser code (UMC)

    Modifying the X coordinate of a control anchored "to right" Hide the details

    <Control used>.XInitial = <New X coordinate>
    <Control used>: Control name
    Name of control to use. If this field is not anchored "right", the Property XInitial has no effect..
    For a control associated with a tab, use the following notation:
    <Tab name>.<Control name>
    <New X coordinate>: Integer
    New X coordinate of specified control (in pixels). 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).
    Remarks

    Position of Tab control

    The Property XInitial allows you to know and modify the horizontal position (in pixels) of the Tab control in relation to the top left corner of the client area of the window (i.e. the window without the title and menu bars nor the Border).
    Important: If the coordinates of a tab anchored "on the right" are modified with the Property XInitial, all the fields positioned on the tab are also moved.
    WINDEVJavaUser code (UMC)

    Position of control in a Tab control

    • If a control is associated with a Tab control, its coordinates are not relative to the Tab control but to the window's client area (i.e. the window without title bar, menu bar or borders).
    • If a control is positioned on a Tab control without being associated with it, the coordinates of this control are relative to the window's client area (i.e. the window without title bar, menu bar or borders).
