object

A SftMask object.

Area

Describes the area whose position is to be returned.

Area	Value	Description
areaSftMaskCaption	0	Caption area
areaSftMaskEdit	1	Edit control (i.e., the editable portion of the control)
areaSftMaskSpin	2	Up/down buttons
areaSftMaskDropDown	3	Drop down button
areaSftMaskEllipse	4	Ellipse button

Left

Returns the horizontal position of the desired Area, relative to the top, left corner of the control. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

Top

Returns the vertical position of the desired Area, relative to the top, left corner of the control. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

Width

Returns the width of the desired Area. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

Height

Returns the height of the desired Area. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

Comments

The GetPositionV method returns the position and dimensions of an area.

The exact position and size for a given area (described by Area) is returned. If an area is not available, the Width and Height values are 0.

GetPositionPix can be used if pixel coordinates are desired.

GetPositionV is used for languages such as VBScript, which are limited by requiring Variant arguments and do not support strongly typed arguments for return values. For more information please see Using SftMask/OCX with Internet Explorer.
