Moving pictures/icons

[Paul Jellyman]

I'm brand new to VB and only a novice at programming.

I'm trying to move pictures/images using the object.Move command but the object is placed with the top left hand corner at the x,y coord Is there some easy way to put the centre of the object on this position (without having to go through some intricate procedure of counting the twips size of the picture, dividing by 2, adding/subtracting from chosen position etc, etc)

You'll soon learn what complicated really means.

Note that all names/functions I use are guesses, I don't know VB. But it should help you to understand the mechanism.

Public Sub MoveCenter(obj as SomeObject, x as Long, y as Long)
  Dim rx, ry as Long
  rx = x - obj.width / 2
  ry = y - obj.height / 2
  obj.Move(rx, ry)
End Sub

As I said, guesses. I assume that Move wants absolute coordinates.
