Value

The topRight of an object is any expression that evaluates to a point --two integers separated by a comma. The first item of the topRight is the distance in pixels from the left edge of the screen (for stacks) or card (for any other object) to the right edge of the object. The second item is the distance in pixels from the top edge of the screen (for stacks) or card (for any other object) to the top edge of the object.

For cards, the topRight property is read-only and cannot be set.

Description

Use the topRight property to change the placement of a control or window.

The topRight of a stack is in absolute coordinates|absolute (screen) coordinates. The first item (the right) of a card's topRight property is always the width of the stack window; the second item (the top) is always zero. The topRight of a group or control is in relative coordinates|relative (window) coordinates.

In window coordinates, the point 0,0 is at the top left of the stack window. In screen coordinates, the point 0,0 is at the top left of the screen.

Changing the topRight of an object moves it to the new position without resizing it. To change an object's size, set its height, width, or rectangle properties.

Important: The order of the top and right parameter|parameters is reversed compared to the property name: right comes first, then top.
