  Coordinate to be set.

Remarks

The PlacementIntent is used by the placement adapter to fill in missing values from the specified placement positions. For example, if the PlacementIntent is Move and you pass in a value for LeftSide, but not RightSide, the placement adapter adjusts the right side so that the size of the control remains constant.
