ValueDescription
XWhen negative, the left edge of the control is placed that many pixels from the right edge. For example, -500 places the left edge of the control 500 pixels from the right edge of the panel. This is equivalent to selecting Right Anchor in Form Designer.
YWhen negative, the top edge of the control is placed that many pixels from the bottom edge. For example, -1000 places the top edge of the control 1000 pixels from the bottom edge of the panel. This is equivalent to selecting Bottom Anchor in Form Designer.
WidthWhen negative, the right edge of the control is placed that many pixels from the right edge. For example, -10 places the right edge of the control 10 pixels from the right edge of the panel. This is equivalent to selecting Autosize Width in Form Designer.
HeightWhen negative, the bottom edge of the control is placed that many pixels from the bottom edge. For example, -20 places the bottom edge of the control 20 pixels from the bottom edge of the panel. This is equivalent to selecting Autosize Height in Form Designer.

Color

Don't use the Form Designer to set the control's text color if you plan to put it into a Panel control. It won't stick. There are technical reasons for this, but the easiest work around is to pass the desired color into this method.

Example

Code Block
CtrlArray = "" 

// Add the label, placing it in the same place it was added to the form 
hWnd = Get_Property(@Window:".LABEL", "HANDLE") 
OrigSize = Get_Property(@Window:".LABEL", "ORIG_SIZE")
Convert @FM to @VM in OrigSize 
CtrlArray<-1> = hWnd:@VM:OrigSize 

// Add the editline, placing it in the same place it was added to the form 
hWnd = Get_Property(@Window:".EDITLINE", "HANDLE") 
OrigSize = Get_Property(@Window:".EDITLINE", "ORIG_SIZE")
Convert @FM to @VM in OrigSize 
CtrlArray<-1> = hWnd:@VM:OrigSize 

// Add the controls 
Send_Message(@Window:".OLE_PANEL", "OLE.AddCtrls", CtrlArray)
