Description

The OBJECT Get vertical alignment command returns a value indicating the type of vertical alignment applied to the object designated by the object and * parameters.

If you pass the optional * parameter, this indicates that the object parameter is an object name (a string). If you do not pass this parameter, this indicates that the object is a variable. In this case, you pass a variable reference instead of a string.

Note: If you apply this command to a set of objects, only the alignment value for the last object is returned.

The value returned corresponds to one of the following constants, found in the Form Objects (Properties) theme:

ConstantTypeValue

Vertical alignment can be applied to the following types of form objects:

  • list boxes,
  • list box columns,
  • list box headers and footers.
