Sets the horizontal (X) coordinate of the top left point, in inches, where the highlighted region's rectangle is to be located on the displayed document. The highlighted region is specified by its unique identifier related to the document currently displayed in the GdViewer control. These regions, if present, determines the currently defined highlighted regions on the displayed document.

You can define this coordinate of the region's rectangle when adding regions using the AddRegion(String,Double,Double,Double,Double,Color,RegionFillMode) method. You can determine this coordinate of the region's rectangle using the GetRegionLeft method.

'Declaration
 
Public Function SetRegionLeft( _
   ByVal RegionID As Integer, _
   ByVal Left As Double _
) As GdPictureStatus

Parameters

RegionID: A unique region identifier of the specified region. You can obtain this identifier using the GetRegionID method or when creating regions using the AddRegion(String,Double,Double,Double,Double,Color,RegionFillMode) method.
Left: The new value for the horizontal coordinate of the top left point, in inches, of the highlighted region's rectangle, related to the actual document.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks

Be aware that if the required region does not exist, the method will fail.

Please note that the specified value corresponds to the actual document area, it is not related to the GdViewer control area.
