Assembly : DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package : DevExpress.RichEdit.Core
float OffsetX { get; set; }
Property OffsetX As Single
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Single |
The horizontal offset in measurement units specified by the Document.Unit property.
|
Use the following properties to position a floating shape on the page:
Shape.OffsetX - specifies the horizontal offset from the element defined by the Shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition property.
Shape.OffsetY - specifies the vertical offset from the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property.
The Shape.Offset property specifies both the horizontal and vertical positions.
Note
The Offset properties are in effect when the Shape.HorizontalAlignment and Shape.VerticalAlignment properties are set to None.
The example below creates a rectangle and places it on the page as follows:
the absolute horizontal position is two inches to the right of the page;
the absolute vertical position is one inch below the page.
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
// Set the measurement unit to inches.
document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Inch;
// Create a rectangle.
Shape rectangle = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, new SizeF(2.5f, 1.5f));
// Specify the rectangle position on the page.
rectangle.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
rectangle.OffsetX = 2;
rectangle.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
rectangle.OffsetY = 1;
Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
' Set the measurement unit to inches.
document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Inch
' Create a rectangle.
Dim rectangle As Shape = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, New SizeF(2.5F, 1.5F))
' Specify the rectangle position on the page.
rectangle.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.Page
rectangle.OffsetX = 2
rectangle.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.Page
rectangle.OffsetY = 1
