Dialogs: created with pixels or units option?

[Eros Olmi]

Hi all,

is there a way to know at runtime if a dialog has been created with PIXELS or UNITS ?

Thanks a lot

There has to be a way, since the compiler does it. Probably some setting in the (proprietary) runtime.

But you might be able to do it with something like...

  FUNCTION GetDialogUnitofMeasure (BYVAL hWnd AS LONG) AS LONG
  LOCAL X, Y AS LONG, R AS RECT 

  DIALOG GET SIZE hWnd to X, Y  
  GetWindowRect  hWnd, R
 
  IF X  =  (R.nRight - R.nLeft) THEN 
     FUNCTION = %DIALOG_USES_PIXELS
  ELSE
      FUNCTION = %DIALOG_USES_DIALOG_UNITS
 END IF 
END FUNCTION 

...
CALLBACK FUNCTION ...... 

     UnitOfMeasure =  GetDialogUnitOfMeasure (CBHNDL) 
    .....
