Converting relative to actual screen co-ords

[yumbelie]

Hi,
I'm wondering, what values do you multiply by to convert an actual resolution value (in this case mouse pointer position co-ords 1024x768) to the windows, resolution independant screen co-ordinate system?

Thanks

Windows uses a number of resolution independant coordinates systems. Which one are you after?

Erm, the one visual basic uses to define window height/width (e.g. Me.ScaleHeight etc) I think. That sound about right? my knowledge of this area is a little hazy

Ah - starting with pixels you want twips.

Multiplier is Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
