Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 [form.][picturebox.]CurrentX[ = coordinate%]
 [form.][picturebox.]CurrentY[ = coordinate%]
 
 Usage Notes
   ■ The X and Y coordinates are expressed in characters and are relative to
     the upper-left corner of the specified form or control.
 
   ■ Invoking certain methods immediately alters CurrentX and CurrentY
     values:
 
     Method        Action                    Effect on CurrentX, CurrentY
     ══════════    ══════════════════════    ═══════════════════════════════
     CLS           Clears form or control    Sets CurrentX and CurrentY to
                                             (0,0) respectively.
     PRINT exp;    Prints expressionlist     CurrentX and CurrentY take on
                                             coordinate values reflecting
                                             the position immediately after
                                             the last character printed.
     PRINT exp$    Prints expressionlist     CurrentY is increased by 1 and
                                             CurrentX is set to zero.
     PRINT exp$,   Prints expressionlist     CurrentX and CurrentY take on
                                             coordinate values reflecting
                                             the starting position of the
                                             next print zone on the same
                                             line.

  ■ Visual Basic generates the error "Overflow" when PRINT method output has
    exceeded the 0 to 254 print range governed by the CurrentX and CurrentY
    property values.
