Height And Width

[Hackster]

What is the difference in Scaleheight and Height? (And why does the difference always seem to be 60 pixels?)

Hackster,

Basically - The Height represents the outer size of the control or object, the ScaleHeight represents the inner (usable) size of the control or object. So the difference represents the height of the top border plus the height of the bottom border.

The difference between the two values depends on the object and it is not always 60 pixels.

Ok. So, the Height of a text box would be its size as it sits, or is drawn, on a form. The ScaleHeight of the text box would be the amount of space within the textbox to put text. Is that correct?

text box controls do not have th scaleheight or scalewidth property. Only the Form as that.
