TBoundLabel.Top Property

Specifies the Y coordinate of the top left corner of a control, relative to its parent or containing control in pixels.

Pascal

property Top: Integer;

C++

__property int Top;

Description

Use Top to locate the top of the control or reposition the control to a different Y coordinate. The Top property, like the Left property, is the position of the control relative to its container. Thus, if a control is contained in a TPanel, the Left and Top properties are relative to the panel. If the control is contained directly by the form, it is relative to the form. For forms, the value of the Top property is relative to the screen in pixels.

/*
This example uses an updown control and a group box on a 
form, with several controls contained within the group box.
When the updown control or is clicked, the controls within 
the group box are moved in the appropriate direction.
