Public Property LeftDistance As Integer

Examples

The following example configures the page border of the first document section by using PageBorder.LeftDistance.

PageBorder pageBorder = textControl.Sections[1].Format.PageBorder;

pageBorder.LeftDistance = 720;
Console.WriteLine($"Left Distance used by Page Border: {pageBorder.LeftDistance}");

Dim pageBorder As PageBorder = textControl.Sections(1).Format.PageBorder

pageBorder.LeftDistance = 720
Console.WriteLine($"Left Distance used by Page Border: {pageBorder.LeftDistance}")

Remarks

The property's default value is PageBorder.DefaultDistance.

The property returns its default value when the text selection contains multiple sections with mixed setting. The Selection.IsCommonValueSelected method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
