Returns or sets the horizontal (CurrentX) or vertical (CurrentY) coordinates for the next drawing method.
[Object.]CurrentX [= value ]
[Object.]CurrentY [ = value]
Object:Form or Printer object
value: Single expression
Coordinates are measured from the upper-left corner of an object. The CurrentX property setting is 0 at an object's left edge, and the CurrentY property setting is 0 at its top edge. Coordinates are expressed in pixels, or the current unit of measurement defined by the ScaleHeight, ScaleWidth, ScaleLeft, ScaleTop, and ScaleMode properties.
When you use the following graphics methods, the CurrentX and CurrentY settings are changed as indicated:
| [P]Circle | The center of the object. |
| [P]Box | The right bottom corner of the object. |
| [Gray]Text | The right bottom corner of the text. |
| Cls | 0, 0. |
| Draw/Line | The end point of the line. |
| Point/Pset | The point drawn. |
| EndDoc | 0, 0 |
| NewPage | 0, 0 |
| [L]Print | The next print position |

Usually, CurrentX and CurrentY are use with an object, like Me.CurrentX, or Printer.CurrentX. Without an object, the current Output device is used.
