Positioning controls and labels

In the following example, PROPPOS (4,12) puts the control 4 windows units horizontally, and 12 windows units vertically from the upper left corner of the dialog. Or, to put it another way, 4 units to the left of the upper left corner of the dialog, and 12 units down from that corner. PROPSIZE (150,40) makes the control 150 windows units wide and 40 windows units long.

PLACEMENT { PROPPOS(4,12) PROPSIZE(150,40) }

PLACEMENT { LABELPOS (n,n) PROPPOS(n,n) PROPSIZE(n,n) }

In the following example, LABELPOS puts the label for the control 4 windows units horizontally, and 2 windows units vertically from the upper left corner of the dialog. The label, therefore, is the same distance from the edge of the dialog, but 10 windows units above the control.

PLACEMENT { LABELPOS (4,2) PROPPOS(4,12) PROPSIZE(150,40) }

Note Do not mix PLACEMENT with default positioning commands within a CHAPTER. Doing so causes odd positioning results.
