Description
The Y property specifies the Y coordinate of an object or control in PowerBuilder units (the maximum value is 32,765). The Y coordinate is the distance from the top of the window or user object. If the object is a main window or custom user object, the distance is relative to the screen. If it is not a main window, the distance is relative to the parent window unless it is opened in an MDI frame window, in which case the distance is relative to the MDI frame.
Usage
In a painter
To set the Y coordinate:
-
Enter the desired Y coordinate, in PowerBuilder units, in the Y field of the Other tab page of the object's Properties view, or drag and drop the control to the desired location.
In scripts
The Y property takes an integer value. The following line sets the distance from the top of the window for a DataWindow control dw_1:
dw_1.Y = 215
You can also set the X and Y properties of a control using the Move function.
It is illegal to move a maximized sheet or frame. Changing the X or Y property for a maximized window is ignored.
