How to move ctrls?

[TurboMetrologist]

I wish to move an existing control an offset number of pixels down. I know I can destroy the control and then re-introduce it to the panel at its new location, and I have seen the movectrl.fp example, but this is a much simpler task than that, I don't want to over-complicate things. What ctrl attribute can I tweak to make it move an offset?

Thanks in advance!

You can do it this way:

GetCtrlAttribute (..., ..., ATTR_TOP, &top);

SetCtrlAttribute (.., ..., ATTR_TOP, top + offset);

Moving horizontally is done the same way by means of ATTR_LEFT attribute.

Remember that pixel coordinates start from the upper left corner and go downwards / rightwards
