IHTMLTextContainer::get_scrollLeft Method

---

Retrieves the distance, in pixels, between the left edge of the element and the leftmost portion of the element that is currently visible in the window. This is equal to the horizontal distance that the content of the element has been scrolled.

Syntax

HRESULT get_scrollLeft(
    long *p 
);

Parameters

p

Address of a variable that receives the scroll-left distance.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error code otherwise.

Remarks

This read-write property is always a nonnegative integer. Although it can be set to any positive or negative value, the property is set to 0 if the assigned value is less than 0, and is set to the value of scrollWidth if the assigned value is greater than this. The default value is 0.

This property is always 0 for elements that do not support scroll bars. For these elements, setting the property has no effect.
