While scratching on the site I came across
you email addy under the blogs section.
I'm trying to keep my apps as close to a windows look as possbile in terms
of fonts used, font sizes, layout etc. I read on MSDN that the standard
size for example a
buttons is 14 dialogue units by 50 dialogue units. I want to convert those
units to pixels for use in VFP. I managed to get the following formula to
convert to
pixels:
horz pixels == 2 * horz dialog units * (average char width of dialog font
/ average char width of system font)
vert pixels == 2 * vert dialog units * (average char height of dialog font
/ average char height of system font)
I have used fontmetric to get the average width as follows:
lnVal = FONTMETRIC(6,'Tahoma',8) && LnVal = 5 in this case
But I dont know if this value is the dialogue font or the system font. How
do I
use this formula correctly?
What standard do you guys uses?
I would really appreciate some guidance here.
Regards,
stuart
