Éric,

Check out these properties that all objects have:

the rect(angle)
the loc(ation)
the height
the width
the top
the bottom

This is not a complete list but should let you set almost any aspect  
of the object's size and location.

For example:
   set the rect of fld "myField" to 100,100,400,300

   set the height of fld "myField" to 100
   set the top of fld "myField" to the bottom of btn "myButton" + 10
