Cordinate Conversion

[Guest]

On a report, when I access the value for a control property, such as . . .

Me.StepStartLine.Top

I get an integer value, which I assume is pixels.

Is pixel the unit of measurement given for a control property? If so, how
can I convert it to inches?

My goal is to draw a line from a specific control to the end of the section
(which resizes depending on the data.) I'm trying to determine the Y value
to start the line. Here's my code . . .

Dim VerticalStart As Single

Me.ScaleMode = 5 ' Set Scale to Inches
Me.DrawWidth = 25

VerticalStart = *Value I Need*

Me.Line (8, VerticalStart)-(8, 22), vbBlack
Me.Line (0, VerticalStart)-(0, 22), vbBlack

Any suggestions are welcome.

It is not pixels, it is twips. there are 1440 twips to an inch.

But I can never remember how to convert miles per hour to furlongs per
fortnight
