SetImagePos has been replaced with SetSectionPos. SetImagePos and SetSectionPos have same functionality; the only change is to the function name. The existing SetImagePos scripts will continue to function and will not require any modification.
Use this procedure/function to reposition a section on a page.
SetSectionPos (PrefixName, Section, Form, Group)
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
PrefixName |
A prefix name to be associated with the coordinates returned by the procedure. |
|
Section |
Enter the name of a section in the form set. The default is the current section. |
|
Form |
Enter the name of a form in the form set that contains the section. The default is the current form. |
|
Group |
Enter the name of the form group that contains the form and section you specified. The default is the current group. |
This procedure repositions a section at the coordinates you specify in the PrefixName parameter: prefix name.top, prefix name.left.
| Note | The section remains the same size. |
This procedure retrieves these variables and sets the section’s top coordinate to prefix name.top and its left coordinate to prefix name.left. This procedure returns a bad variable error message if the prefix name.top or prefix name.left variables are not defined as DAL internal variables.
For this example, assume the current section is Image25, the form is Input_form, and the form group is Package1. The coordinates are:
|
|
Image25 |
For internal variables |
Image50 |
|
Top |
25 |
125 |
95 |
|
Left |
50 |
150 |
90 |
| Note | The the Bottom-Right coordinate is automatically calculated from the new Top-Left coordinate by adding the section height and width, which are not changed by this DAL function. |
|
Procedure |
Result |
Explanation |
|
SetSectionPos ("MyImage") |
New coordinates for the current section, Image25, will be: Myimage.top = 125 Myimage.left = 150 Myimage.bottom = 200 Myimage.right = 200 |
Sets the coordinates for the current section to the internal DAL variables: Myimage.top, Myimage.left, Myimage.bottom, and Myimage.right. |
|
SetSectionPos ("MyImage", "Image50") |
New coordinates for the section, Image50, will be: Myimage.top = 125 Myimage.left = 150 Myimage.bottom = 200 Myimage.right = 200 |
Sets the coordinates for the section, Image50, to the internal DAL variables: Myimage.top, Myimage.left, Myimage.bottom, and Myimage.right. |
|
SetSectionPos ( "m", "MVF\2", "XYZ") |
The section is reposition to: m.top = top m.left = left m.bottom = coordinate m.right = right |
The second occurrence of the section MVF on the form XYZ is repositioned using the DAL target variables. |
IF (SectionRect ("MyRect", "MyImage"))MyRect.Top += 2400;
SetSectionPos("MyRect","MyImage");END;
This script takes the coordinates of the section named MyImage and sets them to the variables MyRect.Top, MyRect.Left, MyRect.Bottom, and MyRect.Right. Next, it increases MyRect.Top by 2400 FAP units then moves MyImage one inch (2400 FAP units) lower on the page.
