[VB6]i need some advices;)

i have some properties for change the colision rectangule dimensons. these properties are working fine. but the problem is that my UC scalemode can be diferent from parent(a container) scalemode(these scalemode isn't knowed).
how can i convert the my UC(that's in pixel mode) for the parent scalemode?
thanks

Try using ScaleX & ScaleY. If x is in usercontrol scalemode....
myLeft = ScaleX(X, Usercontrol.ScaleMode, vbContainerPosition)
:: vbContainerSize is used when measuring dimensions/sizes
:: vbContainerPosition is used when converting X,Y coordinates

Edited: Keep in mind that scalemode can be different for every control. If your uc is in a picbox (uc container) and that picbox is in another picbox that is on the form, both picboxes can have different scalemodes as well as the form.

see these code:

Code:

---

L1 = Extender.Left + Col.Left
                T1 = Extender.Top + Col.Top
                W1 = Col.width
                H1 = Col.height

---

the Col.... are in pixel(it's our UC).

Code:

---

L2 = ctlTemp.Left + Parent.Controls(i).LimColLeft
                            T2 = ctlTemp.Top + Parent.Controls(i).LimColTop
                            W2 = ctlTemp.LimColWidth
                            H2 = ctlTemp.LimColHeight

---

the LimCol..... are another instance in same container(i don't know the scalemode).
these is why that i ask. the UC is in pixel, but the container can have a diferent scalemode.
i belive that my math isn't correct, unless the container is in pixel too;)

then i belive, like you said, that i need convert the col values(without change them).
tell me how can i convert pixels to container scalemode. is pixels*screen.twips or pixels\screen.twips?
thanks

ScaleX and ScaleY as I suggested in post #2.

i continue not reciving the right values:(

Code:

---

If Col.Activate = True Then
  L1 = Extender.Left + ScaleX(Col.Left, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerPosition)
  T1 = Extender.Top + ScaleY(Col.Top, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerPosition)
  W1 = ScaleX(Col.width, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerSize)
  H1 = ScaleY(Col.height, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerSize)
Else

---

Code:

---

If ctlTemp.LimColActivate = True Then
  L2 = ctlTemp.Left + ScaleX(ctlTemp.LimColLeft, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerPosition)
  T2 = ctlTemp.Top + ScaleY(ctlTemp.LimColTop, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerPosition)
  W2 = ScaleX(ctlTemp.LimColWidth, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerSize)
  H2 = ScaleY(ctlTemp.LimColHeight, UserControl.ScaleMode, vbContainerSize)
Else

thanks
