change print statement position

[vaughn9]

A print statement like the line below usually defaults to the top right hand corner of the form

Print "Hello World"

If I wanted hello world to appear at another position on the form how would I write code to do that.

You would use the CurrentX and CurrentY properties. However if say you are trying to center the text on the form then you will also want to use half of the TextWidth and TextHeight in your calculation for position (and maybe a little fudging depending upon exactly what you want to do).

(Oh! Yeah! Do you mean the top left[/o]?

Good Luck

vaughn9, have you read FAQ222-2244 yet? Have you had any success with using the currentx/y?

currentX and currentY worked fine
