property

Summary

Specifies how close text within an object can come to the object's upper edge, and how close objects in a group can come to the group's upper edge.

Syntax

set the topMargin of {<button> | <field> | <group>} to <pixels>

Description

Use the topMargin property to change the amount of blank space between an object's top edge and its contents.

The topMargin property of a field specifies how many blank pixels are left between the object's top edge and its contents. The topMargin of a group specifies how far the group's top edge extends below its uppermost object.

An object's topMargin property is equal to item 2 of its margins property.
