meaning of the position:left property

Dear,
 
I want to control a tab control in dynamic according to the size of an array.
In order to do this, I use position:left and bound property of the array.
 
However, the position:left can get some value less than zero.
What's the meaning of this?
 
*)The arrow indicates the left posiiton of the array in the attachment.

This is correct the bounds:left is the position to the origin of the front panel.  This is not necessarly the upper left corner of your window.  From your screen shot this is difinitly the case.  You can use the scroll bars to wove the window in edit mode to have your window left and the Yorigin match then your numbers will work.

Thanks,
 
How can I define or know  the origin coordinate of the panel such as in tab control or window?

Hello Lee,

The origin of the front panel is denoted by the diamond shape in the front panel grid. As you place your tab control farther from this axis, the value of the Position:Left property will increase. You might want to read this property at runtime and configure any other positions as relative to this one. I hope this is what you needed!
