CONCEPTS
The
duplicate and set events above are similar to using the Step and
Repeat feature.
• The first
duplicate event references the second picture box by index [2].
A copy of the picture box is placed after the second picture box.
• The first set statement sets numerical values for the picture box boundaries.
The four parameters indicate how far from the top-left corner of the layout
page the top, left, bottom, and right sides of the box will be positioned.
• The following lines use the object hierarchy to duplicate picture box 2 after
picture box 3, then after picture box 4. Each new picture box is referenced by
index and positioned.
Create the third picture box and import a picture
tell page 1 of layout space 1 of project 1
