Startup position of form

[Henk ten Bos]

Hi All,

consider the following situation: I have a form that contains an image.
I would like to show a second form where at startup the top left corner of
this second form is positioned exactly at the top left corner of the image
on the 1st form.
How do I calculate this position (taking into account that the form might
have a menubar and toolbars - so form1.top+image .top is not the correct
value !)

any ideas (e.g. what is the height of a menubar in twips ?)

thanks,
Henk

The height of the MenuBar and the borders is
Form.Height - Form.ScaleHeigh t

The height of the borders should be the same as their width
Form.Width - Form.ScaleWidth

However the API ClientToScreen is simpler - it works in pixels
