Can control positions be returned in VBA?

[Everton]

Hi,

I'm trying to return the position of a label on a form using VBA. I know the top and left properties can be used to set the position, but is there any way of returning the position? What I want to do is find the position of a label then increment it by a set value after an event.

Any help apprectiated,

Paul.

You can use the Left and Top properties to determine the position of a control. Ex. (from a command button on your form):

msgbox "My control is at " & MyControl.top & ", " & MyControl.Left

Hope this helps,

Be aware that the Left, Top, Width and Height properties, when accessed from VBA, always work in 'Twips', regardless of your regional settings.

567 'twips' = 1 centimetre
