Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
windowname |
The name of the window for which you want the distance between the left edge of the workspace area and the left edge of the screen |
Integer. Returns the distance that the left edge of the workspace area of windowname is from the left edge of the screen (in PowerBuilder units). WorkSpaceX returns -1 if an error occurs. If windowname is null, WorkSpaceX returns null.
The workspace area is the area between the sides of the window (not including the thickness of the frame or the vertical scroll bar, if any) and the top and bottom of the window (not including the thickness of the frame or the title bar, menu bar, or horizontal scroll bar, if any).
This example returns the distance from the left edge of the screen to the left edge of the workspace area in the w_employee window:
integer workx
workx = w_employee.WorkSpaceX()
