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.

Example

// Récupère la taille et la position d'un champ telles qu'elles ont été définies sous l'éditeur
nX is int = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MonChampSaisie.X)
nY is int = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MonChampSaisie.Y)
nLargeur is int = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MonChampSaisie.Largeur)
nHauteur is int = CoordinateScreenToEditor(MonChampSaisie.Hauteur)

Syntax

<Result> = CoordinateScreenToEditor(<Value>)

<Result>: Integer

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

<Value>: Integer

Value to convert: given size or position in the device's native screen dpi.

Remarks

Under the editor, the sizes and positions of Android or iPhone window fields always correspond to a 160 dpi (dot per inch) screen.
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 a control is 100x100 in the editor, at runtime it will be 150x150 on a 240 dpi screen, 200x200 on a 320 dpi screen, etc.
CoordinateEditorToScreen allows making the inverted conversion, i.e., from the reference dpi in the editor (160 dpi) to the native dpi of the device on which the application is run.
