Left property

Available for all objects.

Read/Write at design time
Read/Write at run time

Specifies the x-position for an object. If the object is a child of another object, this value is relative to its parent client area. When the object has no parent, this value is relative to the screen.

REMARKS: This property is given in pixels or twips units depending on the ScaleMode property. For Window, MDIWindow and Picture objects it depends on its own ScaleMode property, while for any other object it depends on the ScaleMode property of its parent (if its parent is a Window, MDIWindow or Picture), or its first ascendant having the ScaleMode property.
