Is there a generic code for referencing another bit of the same selected object?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way similar to Parent.Width but with the selected rectangle for example so you can reference the X in the width code. Would make applying code to lots of datacards easier.

Thanks

    The Self keyword enables you to access other properties in the same control.

    Hello @BB820747 

     

    If I understand you well, you can use refer to the control name of the Rectangle.

     

    then on your datacard, you can just say Rectangle1.Width
