ScaleLeft Property

Object List Next Object

Defined By: Printer

Description:

Determines the horizontal coordinate for the left edge of a form. The default is 0. Often used in combination with ScaleTop property, which determines the vertical coordinate for the top edge of a form.

Details:

Using this property and the related ScaleTop, ScaleHeight, and ScaleWidth properties, you can create a coordinate system complete with both positive and negative coordinates for drawing or printing operations.

The settings of the four "Scale" properties and ScaleMode directly affect one another. Specifically, setting the ScaleMode to any number greater than 0 sets ScaleLeft and ScaleTop to 0. It also changes ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth to the new unit of measurement, and changes the Current X and Current Y settings to reflect the new coordinates of the current point. Setting any scale property automatically sets ScaleMode to 0.

Note: Do not confuse the ScaleLeft property with the Left property; they are not the same.
