**SetAnchor ( **//control, anchorStrategy//** )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetAnchor** | Sets the specific anchor strategy// //for a window //control//. |
| //Control// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression containing a control number. |
| //anchorStrategy// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression indicating the anchor strategy to apply to the //control//. There are five anchor strategies that are identified easily by a default set of EQUATES:**Anchor:None     EQUATE(0000b)****Anchor:Right    EQUATE(0001b)****Anchor:Left     EQUATE(0010b)****Anchor:Top      EQUATE(0100b)****Anchor:Bottom   EQUATE(1000b)** |

The **SetAnchor** method is used to set the appropriate anchors for a control. Control's are anchored with respect to their parent control.

**Implementation: **The Resizer **Init** method calls the **SetAnchor** method just after setting the parent control defaults via the **SetParentsDefaults** method. Anchoring is actually a variation of the centered resize strategy.

**Example:**

**Resizer.Init PROCEDURE(BYTE AppStrategy=AppStrategy:Resize,| **

**             BYTE SetWindowMinSize=False,BYTE SetWindowMaxSize=False)**

**  CODE**

**  PARENT.Init(AppStrategy,SetWindowMinSize,SetWindowMaxSize)**

**  SELF.SetParentDefaults()!Calculate default control parent-child **

**                          !relationships based upon their positions**

**                          !on the window**

** ****SELF.SetAnchor(?BOButton,Anchor:Bottom)**
