XLeft Attribute
Data Type: integer
4GL Access: RW
The XLeft attribute specifies the relative x-coordinate of the left edge of a field's bounding rectangle.
This boundary is the left edge of the outside of any border line or shadow for the field. For fields contained in composite fields, this boundary is the starting position relative to the left edge of the parent field. All coordinates are in 1000ths of an inch.
Default: 0
Note: When you create a field dynamically, its size and position default to zero, so you must set some combination of attributes (such as XLeft, YTop, Height, and Width) to give the field a real size and position.
