====== IMAGEOFFSET  property ======


 
==== Applies To ====
 
Bitmap controls only.
 
==== Description ====
 
For clipped bitmaps, this property specifies the location within the image (not within the control) to draw from.
 
==== Usage ====
 
//offset// = **Get_Property**(//windowID//, **"IMAGEOFFSET"**)

//oldoffset// = **Set_Property**(//windowID//, **"IMAGEOFFSET"**, //newoffset//)
 
==== Remarks ====
 
Values passed in Set_Property and returned by both Get_Property and Set_Property have the format //x//:@fm://y// where //x// and //y// are defined as:

^Parameter^Description^
|//x//|Number of pixels from the left edge of the image to draw from.|
|//y//|Number of pixels from the top edge of the image to draw from.|

  

**Note:** If the IMAGENUMBER property is set, IMAGEOFFSET specifies an offset within the image specified by IMAGENUMBER.

This property could be used, for example, to scroll a bitmap within a bitmap control. By repeatedly incrementing the //x// portion of the offset, the bitmap will scroll to the left.
