Examples

The following example shows use of the SetLeft method.

C#
// --------------------- CreateFifthPageContent -----------------------
/// <summary>
///   Creates the content for the fifth fixed page.</summary>
/// <returns>
///   The page content for the fifth fixed page.</returns>
private PageContent CreateFifthPageContent()
{
    PageContent pageContent = new PageContent();
    FixedPage   fixedPage   = new FixedPage();
    UIElement   visual      = CreateThirdVisual(false);

    FixedPage.SetLeft(visual, 0);
    FixedPage.SetTop(visual, 0);

    double pageWidth = 96 * 8.5;
    double pageHeight = 96 * 11;

    fixedPage.Width = pageWidth;
    fixedPage.Height = pageHeight;

    fixedPage.Children.Add((UIElement)visual);

    Size sz = new Size(8.5 * 96, 11 * 96);
    fixedPage.Measure(sz);
    fixedPage.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(), sz));
    fixedPage.UpdateLayout();

    ((IAddChild)pageContent).AddChild(fixedPage);
    return pageContent;
}// end:CreateFifthPageContent()

Remarks

The child element's left offset does not affect the size of the parent canvas.

If both a left and right offset have been specified on the same element, the left offset takes precedence.

When setting the left offset as a percentage, the percentage value is based on the width of the parent canvas.
