Y

Applies to

Controls, windows

Description

The Y property specifies the Y coordinate of an object or control in PowerBuilder units. 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.

Usage

In a painter

To set the Y coordinate:

1. 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.
