ScaleTop Property

Object List Next Object

Defined By: Form

Definition:

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

To set the four scale properties in one only statement, you can use the Scale method.

Note: Do not confuse the ScaleTop property with the Top property; they are not the same.
