Field-group Position Relative to Frame

Frames contain field groups, which contain field-level widgets. Field groups are therefore positioned relative to frames, while field-level widgets are positioned relative to field groups. Consistent with this, the X, Y, ROW, and COLUMN attributes of a field group return values relative to the frame. The X, Y, ROW, and COLUMN attributes of a field-level widget (including radio buttons) return values relative to the parent field group.

To access the location of a field-level widget relative to its frame, query the field-level widget’s FRAME–X and FRAME–Y attributes (for pixel values), or FRAME–COL and FRAME–ROW attributes (for character unit values).

For a list of field-group attributes, see the FIELD-GROUP Widget reference entry in the Progress Language Reference .
