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:

ParameterDescription
xNumber of pixels from the left edge of the image to draw from.
yNumber 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.
