Twips and pixels

[accessNEWB]

Wondering how to get the screen's current resolution. I have a bit of code that allows me to set a forms position on screen in pixels. I now wish to simulate a move command (drag the title bar and move the form) because the form I designed has the title bar turned off so I can make it a thin toolbox. But the X and Y coords given by MouseDown are in Twips. Any other apis or something that will return the mouse's position in pixels, based on a get screen resolution or something?

There are 15 twips per pixel regarless of resolution. I think the original idea was that 640x480 would have 15 twips and 1280x960 would have 7.5 so everything would autosize, except fonts.
