ScaleX

This method converts horizontal coordinate values in a Form or PictureBox control from one ScaleMode setting to another.

Syntax

object.ScaleX(value, fromscale, toscale)

Parameters

object

Optional. Object expression that evaluates to a Form or PictureBox control. If object is omitted, the Form object with the focus is assumed to be object.

value

Required. Value thay specifies, for object, the number of units of measure to be converted.

fromscale

Optional. Constant or value that specifies the coordinate system from which value is to be converted.

toscale

Optional. Constant or value that specifies the coordinate system to which value is to be converted. The possible values of toscale are the same as the values for fromscale.

Return Value

Value of the X coordinate in the new coordinate system.

Remarks

The ScaleX and ScaleY methods take a value, with its unit of measure specified by fromscale, and convert it to the corresponding value for the unit of measure specified by toscale.

The following table shows the settings for fromscale and toscale.
