set property for form size in pixels rather than inches?

[merlin777]

I want to set the size and shape of my forms to exactly fill a screen at a particular screen resolution. I can only see a width property in inches and nothing in pixels. Is this possible?

I know I can set the fit-to-screen property to yes but this isn't what I want. I don't want a form to fill a screen at any resolution. If a screen is a higher res than the size I've formatted the form for I want it to appear the same size on the higher res screen (i.e. with a border of background around it.)

Is this possible?

your post set me off on a google path... it seems you can set a forms width property to e.g. 680px and it'll acceprt this as pixels and convert to cm.

Now all I need is to find a height property.

That could be complicated. Each section has it's own height property. The form does not.

Interesting ... yet a form has a width property. Go figure.

That's because all sections must be the same width so it is applied at the form level.
