TabStopPositions in a TppMemo

rbuser

Hi,

i have TDBMemos and changed the TabStops to 16 dialog box-units (via
EM_SetTabStops).

How can i calculate the value (in mm) for the TabStopPositions Property for
a TppDBMemo?

Thanks

Hi Jurgen,

The TabStopPositions in the TppCustomMemo object should be defined in report
units. If your report units are set to mm, you will need to define your tab
stop positions in mm. See the RB help file on the
TppCustomMemo.TabStopPositions topic for more information.

Hi Nico

i looked into the help file. I know that i must define the TabStopPositions
in report units.

My problem is that the TDBMemo needs the value in Dialog-Box-Units. Default
is 32, i set it to 16.
The TppDBMemo needs the TabStop value in report units (for me in mm).
How can i calculate Dialog-Box-Units to mm for the TppDBMemo?

Cheers,
J?rgen

Hi Jurgen,

I am not familiar with Dialog-Box-Units but if this is Screen Pixels, you
will need to first find out what your screen resolution is in order to
calculate how many screen pixels are in a millimeter. There are a few
useful routines located in the ppUtils.pas file such as ppFromMMThousandths
and ppToMMThousandths which could help you make these conversions.
