ScaleLeft Property

You can use the ScaleLeft property to specify the units for the horizontal coordinates that describe the location of the left edge of a page when the Circle, Line, Pset, or Print method is used while a report is previewed, printed, or its output is saved to a file. Read / write Single.

Remarks

You can set the ScaleLeft property by using a macro or a Visual Basic event procedure specified by a section's OnPrint property setting.

By using these properties and the related ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth properties, you can set up a custom coordinate system with both positive and negative coordinates. All four of these Scale properties interact with the ScaleMode property in the following ways:

• Setting any other Scale property to any value automatically sets the ScaleMode property to 0.
  
  
• Setting the ScaleMode property to a number greater than 0 changes the ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth property settings to the new unit of measurement and sets the ScaleLeft and ScaleTop properties to 0. Also, the CurrentX and CurrentY property settings change to reflect the new coordinates of the current point.

You can also use the Scale method to set the ScaleHeight, ScaleWidth, ScaleLeft, and ScaleTop properties in one statement.

Note   The ScaleLeft property isn't the same as the Left property.
