    Screen.TwipsPerPixelX

    Is there any API that can do exactly what Screen.TwipsPerPixelX and Screen.TwipsPerPixelY returns ? It always return 15 for me. However there is a situation when I cannot use these functions and i need to find an alternative.

    Regardles of any utility you may use - you cannot change units of measure - result will always be the same.

    I think Twips are a VB thing. The API deals with Pixels.

    Try the GetSystemMetrics API, it may have what you need.

    I already checked this API, It does not do that. I need an alternative. I do not want to hardcode this value as it may change somewhere else.

    I'm not going to argue or anything like that but just want to mention: those two properties are returning numbers you need. You don't have hardcode anything. Sounds really weird.

    Just believe me for sometime that i cannot use those two properties irrespective of what they return. I just cannot mention those properties in my code. Now what is the alternative ?
