FieldBounds
Purpose
Returns the location, in points, of each field boundary and the field's rotation in degrees.
Format
FieldBounds(fileName;layoutName;fieldName)
Parameters
fileName - the name of an open database file (local or remote).
layoutName - the name of a
layout in the specified database file.
fieldName - the name of a
field on the specified layout.
Important See Design functions for information about literal text parameters.
Data type returned
text
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
The location returned is measured from the top-left corner of the layout (regardless of printer
margins) and is specified in this order: position of left
field boundary, position of top field boundary,
position of right field boundary, p
osition of bottom field boundary, degree of rotation (measured in a
counter-clockwise direction; 0 degrees for unrotated).
Note Your layout begins where your margins end. Because field boundar
ies are measured from the
left side and top of the layout, boundaries returned by FieldBounds never change unless you
mo
ve or re-size a field.
Examples
FieldBounds(“Customers”;“Layout #1”;“Field”) returns 36 48 295 65 0 in the example
below. Notice that all parameters are enclosed in quotation marks.
