    Co-ordinates of a point on a line [resolved by beachbum]

    I've got a line (control) on a form

    The line can be anywhere and at any angle. ie x1 can be > or < x2 and y1 can be > or < y2.

    I want to calculate the co-ordinates of a point on the line 1/4 of the way along from the x1,y1 end.

    I reckon the easiest way is to convert to polar co-ordinates and back again.

    any other suggestions?
