Pixels to DBU - mIRC Discussion Forums

Is there a way to convert pixels to dbu. If I had a dialog like

Code:

dialog test {
  title ""
  size -1 -1 200  100 
  option dbu
}

and I want to use /dialog -s it uses pixels to size the dialog (I think) I need to convert the pixels to dbu
and the $width returns the numbers as pixels I need to convert those to. There must be a way... right?

Dbu vs. Pixels
The dbu option makes mIRC use dialog base units when creating the dialog, this ensures that the dialog will look the same for all users under any size display, etc. Pixels is the default however to maintain compatibility with previous scripts.

The identifiers $dbuw and $dbuh return the dbu per pixel width and height values for the current display. This may or may not be an integer value.

dialog -s $dname $dialog($dname).x $dialog($dname).y $calc($width(%text,%font,%fontsize) * $dbuw) $dialog($dname).h

As always Hammer comes to the rescue

Thanks
