Twerps to Pixel conversion

[JohnStep]

<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know the twerps to pixel conversion. I know 1440 Twerps = 1 Inch, but how many pixels is that??<br><br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks in Advance<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;John Stephens

use Screen.TwipsPerPixelX and Screen.TwipsPerPixelY<br>or in the properties listing, type in a Twip, then change scalemode to Pixel, and look at the height, width in the properties window again. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

John,<br><br>It's not usually very useful to say how many pixels per inch - because that changes with the screen resolution - so a screen working at a resolution of 800x600 has fewer pixels per inch than one running at 1024x768. And that's why you have twips - they are a way of sizing screen objects without having to worry about what resolution your users screen is running at.<br><br>The two Screen properties, that Karl mentions, (<FONT FACE=monospace><b>Screen.TwipsPerPixelX</font></b> and <FONT FACE=monospace><b>Screen.TwipsPerPixelY</font></b>) are the key.<br><br>If you set <FONT FACE=monospace><b>Form1.Height = Screen.TwipsPerPixelY / 2</font></b> and <FONT FACE=monospace><b>Form1.Width = Screen.TwipsPerPixelX / 2</font></b> the form will always be half the size of the screen - no matter what resolution the screen is running at.<br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=
