Top Optional. Single-precision value, in points, that specifies the vertical coordinate for the top edge of the object.
Width Optional. Single-precision value, in points, indicating the width of the object.
Height Optional. Single-precision value, in points, indicating the height of the object.
Layout Optional. A Boolean value indicating whether the Layout event is initiated for the control's parent following this move. False is the default value.

Settings

The maximum and minimum values for the Left, Top, Width, Height, X, and Y arguments vary from one application to another.

Remarks

For a form or control, you can move a selection to a specific location relative to the edges of the form that contains the selection.

You can use named arguments, or you can enter the arguments by position. If you use named arguments, you can list the arguments in any order. If not, you must enter the arguments in the order shown, using commas to indicate the relative position of arguments you do not specify. Any unspecified arguments remain unchanged.

For the Controls collection, you can move all the controls in this collection a specific distance from their current positions on a Frame or Page.
