topRight

Type

property

Summary

Specifies the location of the specified object's upper right corner.

Syntax

set the topRight of <object> to <right>, <top>

Description

Use the topRight property to change the placement of a control or window.

The topRight of a stack is in absolute (screen) coordinates. The first item (the right) of a card's topRight property is always the width of the stack window; the second item (the top) is always zero. The topRight of a group or control is in relative (window) coordinates.

In window coordinates, the point 0,0 is at the top left of the stack window. In screen coordinates, the point 0,0 is at the top left of the screen.

Changing the topRight of an object moves it to the new position without resizing it. To change an object's size, set its height, width, or rectangle properties.

Important

The order of the top and right parameters is reversed compared to the property name: right comes first, then top.

Examples

set the topRight of this stack to 0,20
