Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition | A ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition enumeration member. |
Remarks
Use the Shape.HorizontalAlignment property to specify the alignment of a shape relative to the item specified by the RelativeHorizontalPosition value. If the horizontal alignment is set to ShapeHorizontalAlignment.None, use the Shape.Offset property to specify the absolute position of a shape relative to the item specified by the RelativeHorizontalPosition value.
This example moves a floating object to a position where its upper left corner is located at 4.5 cm to the right of the left margin and 2 cm below the top margin.

Document document = server.Document;
document.LoadDocument("Documents\\Grimm.docx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);
document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Centimeter;
Shape myPicture = document.Shapes[1];
// Clear the qualitative positioning to allow positioning by specifying the numerical offset.
myPicture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.None;
myPicture.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.None;
// Specify the reference item for positioning.
myPicture.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.LeftMargin;
myPicture.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.TopMargin;
// Specify the offset value.
myPicture.Offset = new System.Drawing.PointF(4.5f, 2.0f);
