MarginLeft Property (ElementControl)

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property MarginLeft As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ElementControl
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.MarginLeft = value
 
value = instance.MarginLeft

public virtual int MarginLeft {get; set;}

Property Value

Integer number of pixels in margin

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, right, and top margins by setting the MarginBottom, MarginRight, and MarginTop 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.

C#

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;
control.BackColor = Color.Red;
control.Text = "NO SMOKING";
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Turn off the No Smoking sign
control.Visible=false;
}
