Left, Top Properties
The distance between a control and the left or top edge of the form that contains it.
Syntax
object.Left [= Single]
object.Top [= Single]
The Left and Top property syntaxes have these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. A valid object. |
| Single | Optional. A numeric expression specifying the coordinates of an object. |
Settings
Setting the Left or Top property to 0 places the control's edge at the left or top edge of its container.
Remarks
For most systems, the recommended range of values for Left and Top is from -32,767 to +32,767. Other values may also work depending on your sytem configuration. For a ComboBox, values of Left and Top apply to the text portion of the control, not to the list portion. When you move or size a control, its new Left setting is automatically entered in the property sheet. When you print a form, the control's horizontal or vertical location is determined by its Left or Top setting.
