Farshad Hemmat #1 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height Dear all, A error I encountered was that VB gives me two different numbers and have nothing to do with Scale... Try this: (Put a small picture in a new picture box) msgbox Picture1.height msgbox Picture1.picture.height You come out with two totally different numbers. Can anyone tell me how to convert this number from Picture1.Picture.Height to twips. I couldn't see any relationship between them. I need to use the Picture1.Picture.Height.

Robert Teixeir #2 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height Picture1.Height is the actual size of the control itself (including any borders). Picture1.Picture.Height is the physical size of the bitmap loaded into the Picture property of the control. By default they are both in twips (unless you change the ScaleMode). -Rob Quote: >Dear all, >A error I encountered was that VB gives me two different numbers and have >nothing to do with Scale... >Try this: (Put a small picture in a new picture box) >msgbox Picture1.height >msgbox Picture1.picture.height >You come out with two totally different numbers.

Farshad Hemmat #3 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height They are totally different numbers and have nothing to do if they are twips or not because I started with a blank form and did it and same results.

Douglas Marquard #4 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height Hi Farshad: Quote: >msgbox Picture1.height >msgbox Picture1.picture.height >You come out with two totally different numbers. Can anyone tell me how to >convert this number from Picture1.Picture.Height to twips If I recall correctly, the picture object returns the height in HiMetric units; you will have to use the ScaleX and ScaleY methods of the picturebox to get the height in twips. Hope this helps, Doug.

Scott M #5 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height I believe the picture's dimensions are actually measured in HiMetric units, not twips or whatever scalemode you're using. You'll need to convert the return value using the ScaleX and ScaleY methods.

Alejandr #6 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height If you set Picture1.AutoSize = True and Picture1.ScaleMode = vbTwips, then Picture1.ScaleWidth and Picture1.ScaleHeight returns the picture Width and Height in twips.

Roy Magne Indreb #7 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height I don't know if this has been said, but anyaway. Picture1.heigth returns the height of the control. Picture1.picture.heigth returns the height of the picture IN the control. Now if you makes the picturebox covering the whole form, and then loads and 160x160 picture into it, then I believe that the two values would be quite different. At least if autosize is off. You may have to convert then numbers to the same format to compare them. Hope this helps! Roy Magne Indreb? Alejandro skrev i meldingen ...

Jason Smit #8 / 8	picture height is different from Picture.picture.height The Picture.Picture.Height in in Hi-metrics. Thanks, again, Microsoft, for making things confusing and then documenting them so well!!! You have to use the ScaleX and ScaleY methods to convert from Hi-metric to twips, or to pixels if you so desire. You will not, however, find the ScaleX and ScaleY methods on the stdPicture object. Instead, you will have to resort to using the ScaleX and ScaleY method found on a particular PictureBox or Form, or on the Printer object. Now tell, me, other than for the stdPicture object, who uses Hi-metrics on a Form, PictureBox, or Printer? Nobody, that's who! Makes perfect sense to me!
