Returns or sets the horizontal coordinate for the next drawing method.
Object.CurrentX [ = fNumber ]
The CurrentX property syntax has the following parts:
|
Name |
Type |
Description |
|
Object |
AForm |
AForm object |
|
fNumber |
Float |
An integer specifying the horizontal coordinate for the next drawing method. |
This property is not available at design time and is read-only at run time. The property is not applicable for MDI Form type since drawing functions are not supported for MDI Forms.
Coordinates are measured from the upper-left corner of an object. The CurrentX property setting is 0 at an object's left edge, and the CurrentY property setting is 0 at its top edge. Coordinates are expressed in pixels, or the current unit of measurement defined by the ScaleHeight, ScaleWidth, ScaleLeft, ScaleTop, and ScaleMode properties.
When using the following graphics methods, the CurrentX and CurrentY settings are changed as indicated:
|
Graphics method |
Sets currentsX and Current Y to |
|
The center of the object |
|
|

|
The end point of the line |
|
|
The line below the text drawn |
|
|
The point drawn |
The following statements draw a horizontal red dash line (every 20 pixels draw a line of 10 pixels) starting from 10, 20:
CurrentX=10
CurrentY=20
DrawWidth=2
