TBoundLabel.Left Property

Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the left edge of a component relative to its parent.

Pascal

property Left: Integer;

C++

__property int Left;

Description

Use the Left property to determine where the left side of the control begins or to reposition the left side of the control.

If the control is contained in another control, the Left and Top properties are relative to the parent control. If the control is contained directly by the form, the property values are relative to the form. For forms, the value of the Left property is relative to the screen in pixels.

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*
Place a TTimer object in the form and enter Timer1Timer in 
the OnTimer event.  Place other controls in the form and 
change the active control at runtime.  The following event 
handler responds to timer events by moving the active control
one pixel to the right every 100 miliseconds:
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::Timer1Timer(TObject *Sender)
{
  Timer1->Interval = 100;
  if (ActiveControl)
    ActiveControl->Left = ActiveControl->Left + 1;
}

Delphi Examples:

Copy Code

{
Place a TTimer object in the form and enter Timer1Timer in 
the OnTimer event.  Place other controls in the form and 
change the active control at runtime.  The following event 
handler responds to timer events by moving the active control

} 
procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Timer1.Interval := 100;
  if ActiveControl <> nil then
    ActiveControl.Left := ActiveControl.Left + 1;
end;
