 [Object.]Width[ = nWidth]

Property Values

  • nWidth
    Specifies the width of an object.

Remarks

Use the Height, Width, Left, and Top properties for operations or calculations based on an object's total area, such as sizing or moving the object.

For forms and controls, the values for this property changes as the object is sized by the user or in code. Maximum settings of this property for all objects are system-dependent.

For forms, the Width property specifies the external width of the form, excluding the borders.

For controls, the Width property is measured from the center of the control's border so that controls with different border widths align correctly.

Note   The Width property is read-only when it applies to a control contained in a Column object.

The Width property is determined in the unit of measurement specified by the ScaleMode property setting.
