Decimals in width/height

Just wondering if a can assign a width and height to a picturebox or image box that is a decimal?
I have tried this and then used a message box to retrieve the value but it chops off the decimal.
pic1.width = 213.234
msgbox pic1.width

any ideas or is it impossible?

thanks in advance

I don't think it's possible to for anything in a computer environment to be a fraction of a pixel. It will render it within the next highest pixel, and in the case of twips, I believe most computers have 15 twips per pixel for both x and y dimensions.

Thanks MB ... kinda what i thought. Damn, working on resizing jpegs to the correct proportions relative to their original sizes and the sc4rewup when i save them is the decimal error difference

Don not have VB here, but can you change the ScaleMode property, which may enebale you to use decimals?

the smallest thing the comp can show is pixels........ if you want parts of pixels then i don't see why you would...
