LayoutGetPadding - ProGUI Reference Manual

Syntax

PaddingLeft = LayoutGetPadding(Layout, *PaddingLeft.Integer=#Null, *PaddingTop.Integer=#Null, *PaddingRight.Integer=#Null, *PaddingBottom.Integer=#Null)

Description

Retrieves the padding values for the specified layout container. Padding is the space between the layout's border and its content.

Parameters

Layout
The handle of the layout object whose padding is to be retrieved. If #Null, it targets the current layout.

*PaddingLeft.Integer (optional)
A pointer to an integer variable that will receive the left padding value.

*PaddingTop.Integer (optional)
A pointer to an integer variable that will receive the top padding value.

*PaddingRight.Integer (optional)
A pointer to an integer variable that will receive the right padding value.

*PaddingBottom.Integer (optional)
A pointer to an integer variable that will receive the bottom padding value.

Return Value

Returns the left padding value as an Integer. Returns #False (0) if the layout handle is invalid. The other padding values are returned via the optional pointers.
