|
fWidth |
Float |
An integer specifying the number of units for the horizontal measurement of the interior of an object when using graphics methods or when positioning controls. |
The width is expressed in terms of the ScaleMode property setting or Scale method coordinate system in effect for object. Use TextWidth to determine the amount of horizontal space required to display the text. If string contains embedded carriage returns, TextWidth returns the width of the longest line.
The following statement changes the AForm's TextWidth to 20 of the units specified by the ScaleMode property:
lfrm1TextWidth = frm1.TextWidth("20")
