Equivalence between twips and inches or pixels

Hi all..

I have added an ActiveX control to my application.. specifically it is a FlexGrid control. I need to know the height of the row so that I will be able to define the number of rows at run time. The problem is that the FlexGrid RowHeight property returns a value measured in twips, so that I need to convert it into pixels. That way I could use GetClientRect to know how many rows the control need to have when application is initialized.

I use Visual C++ 6.0.

Any advice? suggestion? help?
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks for your comment...

I saw you used CClientDC... I have used CDC* pDC = GetDC() instead and it worked.. is it right? or should I use CClientDC in that case?

You can use either CClientDC or GetDC. If you use GetDC make sure to release the DC using ReleaseDC.
