You will have to get a hold of a dc and set it mode to MM_HIENGLISH or
MM_LOWENGLISH and the use LPtoDP

I can change the size of my mainframe with the PreCreateWindow() function
by
setting the attributes of the CREATESTRUCT; I.E...

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
cs.cx = 750;
cs.cy = 850;
return TRUE;
}

however, the size I set it to is in logical units. Is there a way to
convert the sizes to device units? In other words I want the window to be
x
inches by y inches on the monitor. How can I programatically redefine the
hieght and width to do this? It wouldnt help me to determine the ratio for
my
own display setup, I need a way to determine it at runtime. I don't know
if
LPtoDP will work, since there doen't seem to be a device context involved
here...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
