ScaleMode property (Main Control)

Visual Basic example
Visual C++ 4.0 example

Syntax short ScaleMode

Overview: Refer to Displaying an Image.

Remarks

(Persistent property, available at design time) Specifies the unit of measure for the Main Control.

You can change the unit of measure at any time without affecting measurements that the Main Control maintains. The control accepts floating point values and converts them to pixels internally. This means, for example, that if you set a property value in twips, the value that you get back may be slightly different, since it is rounded to the nearest pixel.
