Returns the horizontal placement style of a text object with the specified ID number; returns a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

Usage

Where:

ObjectID - a numerical expression specifying the object ID number.

Returns a numerical value indicating the horizontal placement style of the specified object:

0 - to the right of the bar,
1 - to the left of the bar,
2 - centered on the bar.

Notes

  • An object-specific ID number is returned by Text_New when the text object is created.
  • Use Text_GetVStyle to get the vertical placement of a text object.
  • Use Text_SetStyle to set the horizontal placement and vertical placement for a text object.

Example

Assign a value, indicating the horizontal placement style of the text object with an ID number of 3, to Value1 variable:

Value1 = Text_GetHStyle(3);
