Why are Control.Left and Control.Top in iOS reporting nothing ?

Targets iOS
1

I could really use controls Left and Top properties which are indicated at http://developer.xojo.com/ioscontrol$Left as read only.

They simply report zero.

That does not seem normal. Or is it ?

Load the attached project. It should display left and top of the rectangle, but only zero is displayed.

I tried with other controls with the same result.

Jean-Paul, your demo works great. Thank you so much. It will save my skin for my current project.

Hum. I just found out that sometimes, top is reported incorrectly (201 instead of 95 for instance). I have since moved to using a constraint.

At any rate, the bug is corrected for the next version.
