Description

Gets or sets, in twips, the frame's current location. If the image, text frame, chart, barcode or drawing is anchored to a paragraph, the location is relative to the paragraph. Otherwise, it is relative to the document. If the frame has a horizontal alignment or if it is inserted inline, this property returns zero. This property cannot be set for images, text frames, charts, barcodes or drawings which are inserted inline.

Syntax

public Point Location { get; set; }

Public Property Location As Point

Examples

The following example adds a callout frame and works with it through the common frame API by using FrameBase.Location.

TextFrame callout = new(new System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) { Name = "Callout" };
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText);
FrameBase frameBase = callout;

frameBase.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(20, 20);
Console.WriteLine($"Location used by Frame Base: {frameBase.Location}");

Dim callout As New TextFrame(New System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) With { .Name = "Callout" }
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText)
Dim frameBase As FrameBase = callout

frameBase.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(20, 20)
Console.WriteLine($"Location used by Frame Base: {frameBase.Location}")
