EditLeft @Command (Formula Language)

Moves the insertion point in a document, form, subform, or page to the left by the number of spaces you specify. If you don't specify a number, moves the insertion point one space to the left.

Syntax

@Command( [EditLeft] ; count )

Parameters

count

Number. Optional. The number of spaces you want to move.

Usage

  • On a form, subform, or page in Design mode, moves the insertion point one or count spaces to the left, as if the user had pressed the left arrow key.
  • In a document in Edit mode, moves the insertion point one or count spaces to the left within the current field, or if there are no more spaces in the current field, in the previous editable field (which may be to the left of, or above, the current field).
  • In a document in Read mode, has no effect.

This command does not work on the Web.

If using this command in a hotspot button or any other element that causes a change in focus, the EditGoToField or EditTop command must be used first to return the focus to the document. The document must be in Edit mode.

Examples

This formula moves the insertion point four spaces to the left.
