ph_getccobjx PowerHome formula function
Description
Retrieves the x value for the specified Control Center object. This is the horizontal position of the objects upper left hand corner.
Syntax
ph_getccobjx ( )
ph_getccobjx ( as_tab, as_id )
Argument Description
as_tab String (Optional). The ID of the Control Center tab containing the object. If this parameter is omitted, the system variable CCTAB will be used
as_id String (Optional). The ID of the Control Center graphic object. If this parameter is omitted, the system variable CCOBJ will be used
Return value
Long. Returns the x value of the specified object. Returns -1 if the object is not found.
Usage
Use this function to retrieve the x value for a Control Center object on a CC tab. A typical use of this function would be to retrieve the current x value of a Control Center object that was triggered and initiated an action such as a formula or macro. In that use case scenario, you can call the function without parameters and the ID's for both the tab and object will be automatically supplied by the system variables. If you wish to get the x value for a CC object other than one that initiated an action, you must specify both the tab and object ID's
