ScaleMode

stdPicture Height and Widht properties are in HiMetrics. Does any one know the HiMetric to pixel Ratio or Of a Valid Conversion routine or API for HiMetric to Pixels. I tried ScaleX and ScaleY they returned a negative number which is not possible when I know the image file I'm testing with is 24x22 pixels.

Any ideas would be great.

thanks

Are you sure you used the ScaleX / ScaleY properties correctly, I know they work..

Code:

---


Dim PixWidth As Integer, PixHeight As Integer
 
 PixWidth = Me.ScaleX(Picture1.Picture.Width, vbHimetric, vbPixels)
 PixHeight = Me.ScaleY(Picture1.Picture.Height, vbHimetric, vbPixels)

---

And just in case you can't get those functions to work the formula would be...
Pixels = Himetrics / 26.45454545455

I'm using an stdPicture object. It has limeted properties and documetation.....

Code:

---

Dim lScaleX as Long, lScaleY as Long
Dim stdPic As stdPicture
    lScaleX = CLng(ScaleX(stdPic.Width, _
                          vbHiMetric, vbPixels))
    lScaleY = CLng(ScaleY(stdPic.Height, _
                          vbHiMetric,vbPixels))

---

That solves the problem.

Thanks
