Glossary Item Box

Gets or sets the margin between the top of the control and its contents.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Overridable Property MarginTop As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As ElementControl
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.MarginTop = value
 
value = instance.MarginTop
C# 
public virtual int MarginTop {get; set;}

Property Value

Integer number of pixels in margin

Remarks

The margin value represents the amount of space between the edge of the control and the text. Specify the margin in pixels.

Set the bottom, left, and right margins by setting the MarginBottom, MarginLeft, and MarginRight properties.

Note: A controls contents are aligned inside the margins. Therefore, if you define unequal margins, the control might not align its contents as you expect. For example, if you define unequal top and bottom margins and set the AlignVert property to Center, the contents will not appear vertically centered.

Example

C#Copy Code
control.Picture = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\\smokes.bmp");
control.PictureMargin = 34;
control.MarginTop = 3;
control.MarginBottom = 3;
control.MarginLeft = 3;
control.MarginRight = 3;
control.PictureOrientation = FarPoint.Win.PictureOrientation.PictureRotate180;
control.AlignText = FarPoint.Win.TextAlign.TextLeftPictRight;
control.AlignHorz = FarPoint.Win.HorizontalAlignment.Left;

// Turn off the No Smoking sign
