TextBox.Left Property

Definition

Gets or sets the distance, in points, between the left edge of the TextBox and the left edge of the document.

public:
 property float Left { float get(); void set(float value); };
public float Left { get; set; }
member this.Left : single with get, set
Public Property Left As Single

Property Value

The distance, in points, between the left edge of the TextBox and the left edge of the document.

Examples

For a code example that demonstrates how to use this property, see Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.Button.Left. All controls in the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls namespace have a functionally equivalent Left property.

Remarks

The Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.TextBox.Left property uses points, whereas System.Windows.Forms.Control.Left property uses pixels.

You can only use the Left property of a TextBox control that is not in line with text. For more information, see Adding Controls to Office Documents at Run Time.
