Draw a line from point A to point B

[AndyK]

Sound easy right...........how about that I need to do it on coordinate plane where X-axis is 50 and Y-axis is 50 (i thought about using my form's X and Y, but scale them so that if A (5;6) then it will display a point on form maybe....A(500;600) or whatever, but what formula can I use to scale that....i tried lots of stuff...none works.....basically all I need is to draw a line from A to B and use my form as coordinate plane, but scale it so that x = 5 and x = 10 have a visible difference....if i plug those Xs onto my form right now, then x = 5 and x = 30 don't have any visible difference at all (line will move maybe like a fraction of a milimeter (less then a 1/16 of an inch), but I need is that if x = 5 and x = 6 then it has difference about 5 milimeters on the form (line will move like 5 mm so that change in position of a line will be visible)
I hope that won't confuse you........Thank You

All you need to do is set the Controls ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight Properties to your own Coordinate System, eg.

If you set the Forms ScaleWidth to 4 and the ScaleHeight to 4, then place a point at 2,2 it'll appear in the center of the form, because you've split the form into sections 5 across (0 - 4) by 5 down (0 - 4),eg..


private Sub Command1_Click()
ScaleWidth = 4
ScaleHeight = 4
me.PSet (2, 2)
End Sub
