CoordinateScreenToEditor (Function)

In french: CoordonnéeEcranVersEditeur

Converts a size or a position specified in the native dpi of the screen on the device where the application is run to the reference dpi in the editor (160 dpi).

This function is mainly used to perform a positioning at pixel level.

Versions 21 and later

This function is now available in Universal Windows 10 App mode.

New in version 21

This function is now available in Universal Windows 10 App mode.

Example

// Retrieves the size and position of a control as they have been defined in the editor
nX is an integer = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MyEntryField.X)
nY is an integer = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MyEntryField.Y)
nWidth is an integer = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MyFieldSize.Width)
nHeight is an integer = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MyField.Height)

Syntax

<Result> = CoordinateScreenToEditor(<Value>)

<Result>: Integer

Conversion result: size or position converted into the reference dpi in the editor (160 dpi).

<Value>: Integer

Value to convert: size or position specified in the native dpi of the device screen.

Remarks

In the editor, the sizes and positions of controls in the Android, iPhone, Universal Windows 10 App or Windows Mobile windows always correspond to a screen in 160 dpi (dot per inch).
When running the application, these sizes and positions are automatically converted according to the native dpi of the screen on the host device. This allows you to get a WYSIWYG rendering regardless of the device dpi. For example, if the size of a control is equal to 100x100 in the editor, its size at run time will be set to 150x150 on a device in 240 dpi, to 200x200 on a device in 320 dpi, etc.
The CoordinateEditorToScreen function allows you to perform the reverse conversion, i.e. from the dpi of reference in the editor (160 dpi) to the native dpi of the screen of the device on which the application is running.
