Syntax

TXTextControl.TextFrameInsert TextPos, Alignment, PosX, PosY, Width, Height, TextFlow, DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB
Parameter Description
TextPos

Specifies a text position in the paragraph where to insert the text frame. If TextPos is -1, the text frame is anchored to the paragraph at the current input position.
Alignment

Specifies the text frame's horizontal alignment. It can be one of the following values:


Value Description
0 The horizontal position is given through the PosX parameter.
1 The text frame is left aligned relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.
2 The text frame is right aligned relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.
3 The text frame is centered relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored.
PosX

Specifies the text frame's horizontal position in twips relative to the left border of the paragraph. This value is used if the Alignment parameter has been set to 0.
PosY

Specifies the text frame's vertical position in twips relative to the top border of the paragraph.
Width

Specifies the width of the text frame in twips. If this parameter is set to zero, a built-in mouse interface is started which enables the end-user to define the size of the text frame through a rectangle, drawn with the mouse.
Height

Specifies the height of the text frame in twips. If this parameter is set to zero, a built-in mouse interface is started which enables the end-user to define the size of the text frame through a rectangle, drawn with the mouse.
TextFlow

Specifies how text flows around the text frame. It can be one of the following values:


Value Description
2 The text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the text frame.
3 The text flows around the text frame. Empty areas at the left and right side are filled.
DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB

Specifies distances, in twips, between the text frame and the document's text.

Return Value

The method returns the text frame's identifier, if a new text frame could be inserted. Otherwise, it returns zero. The text frame's identifier can also be obtained with the ObjectCurrent property.
