LeftAlign

Left alignment of this control as defined in swPropertyManagerPageControlLeftAlign_e

Options

Tip

Return Value

You can only use this method to set properties on the PropertyManager before the page is displayed or while it is closed. See IPropertyManagerPage2::Show2 and IPropertyManagerPage2::Close.

To follow the SOLIDWORKS standards when designing a new PropertyManager page, it is a good idea to use IPropertyManagerPage2::AddGroupBox or IPropertyManagerPage2::IAddGroupBox and IPropertyManagerPageGroup::AddControl2 to add controls for the page inside group boxes.

When you specify swAddControlOptions_e.swControlOptions_SmallGapAbove for the Options parameter, the gap created between the new control and the previous control is smaller than a typical gap. Also, the control is hidden unless you specify swAddControlOptions_e.swControlOptions_Visible for the Options parameter. In the previous versions of this method, IPropertyManagerPage2::AddControl and IPropertyManagerPage2::IAddControl, the control was visible regardless if the Options parameter was set or not set to swAddControlOptions_e.swControlOptions_Visible.
