Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property CurrentY As Single

public float CurrentY { get; set; }

public:
property float CurrentY {
    float get ();

Property Value

Type: System.Single
Returns a Single.

Remarks

Coordinates are measured from the upper-left corner of a page. The CurrentX property setting is 0 at the page's left edge, and the CurrentY property setting is 0 at its top edge. Coordinates are expressed in twips, or the current unit of measurement defined by the ScaleHeight, ScaleWidth, ScaleLeft, ScaleTop, and ScaleMode properties.

When you call the following Printer methods, the CurrentX and CurrentY settings change as indicated in the following table.

This method	Sets CurrentX, CurrentY to
Circle	The center of the object.
EndDoc	0, 0
Line	The end point of the line.
NewPage	0, 0
Print	The next print position.
PSet	The point drawn.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to set the CurrentX and CurrentY properties. In this case, it prints text 500 twips from the top edge of the page and 500 twips from the left edge of a page.

Dim Printer As New Printer
Printer.CurrentX = 500
Printer.CurrentY = 500
Printer.Print("Hello")
Printer.EndDoc()
