GetDialogBaseUnits
The GetDialogBaseUnits function returns the dialog box base units used by Windows to create dialog
boxes. Both Windows and applications use these units to convert the width and
height of dialog boxes and controls from dialog units, as given in dialog box
templates, to pixels, and vice versa.
LONG GetDialogBaseUnits(VOID)
Parameters
This function has no parameters.
Return Values
The return value is a 32-bit value that contains the dialog base units. The
low-order word of the return value contains the horizontal dialog box base unit,
and the high-order word contains the vertical dialog box base unit.
Remarks
The horizontal base unit is equal to the average width, in pixels, of the
characters in the system font; the vertical base unit is equal to the height, in
pixels, of the font. Furthermore, each horizontal base unit is equal to 4
horizontal dialog units; each vertical base unit is equal to 8 vertical dialog units.
Therefore, to convert dialog units to pixels, an application applies the
following formulas:
pixelX = (dialogunitX * baseunitX) / 4
pixelY = (dialogunitY * baseunitY) / 8
Similarly, to convert from pixels to dialog units, an application applies the
following formulas:
dialogunitX = (pixelX * 4) / baseunitX
dialogunitY = (pixelY * 8) / baseunitY
The multiplication is performed before the division to avoid rounding problems
if base units are not divisible by 4 or 8.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
