Detailed description

This call gets the objects bounding box position. This can be thought of as the objects size rather than its raw scale value.


The difference between scale and size only applies to objects with child objects, such as groups or compiled components.

Scale and size of the box


Examples

Calling in a calculation

  • Declare a variable 'result' of type HANDLE
  • Add to a calculation icon:
    result = ::Panel.Position.GetBox(handle)
