VPE offers several methods to attach an object's position to margins and relative to the position of previously inserted objects. In addition Text, Rich Text and Picture objects are able to compute their dimensions automatically depending on their visual content.
For details please see "Dynamic Positioning" in the Programmer's Manual.

Example:

VpeSetFont(hDoc, "Arial", 12)

VpeWriteRTF(hDoc, 1, 1, -5, VFREE, "Hello \b World!")

VpeSetFont(hDoc, "Times New Roman", 16)

VpeSetUnderlined(hDoc, TRUE)

VpeWriteRTF(VLEFT, VBOTTOM, VRIGHT, VFREE, "Hello \b World!")

Produces the following output:

Hello World!
