What are the units for form widths and heights in VBA?

Question

I\'m programming VBA for Word 2007.

I\'ve created a UserForm which I need to resize with script.

I noticed that its not pixels

Answer 1

When manipulating controls on forms through code the sizes are in twips by default (I believe if you change the form's ScaleMode property you can choose to use another unit).

Your conversion formula is wrong (it's easy to get wrong). Try this, wrapped in a function to avoid code duplication with potential for typos in every duplicate

Function nTwipsFromPixelsX(ByVal nPixels As Long) As Long
  nTwipsFromPixels = TwipsPerPixelX() * nPixels
End Function
