[VS 2008] Units Problem

[VictorN]

Dear All,

I have noticed that Visual Studio doesn't work with PIXEL as units.

Well VS2005, 2002, VC++6.0, VC++5.0, VC++4.2, ... didn't work with PIXEL as units either.
They work with dialog unit (DLU) From MSDN:

dialog unit (DLU) A

unit of horizontal or vertical distance within a dialog box. A horizontal DLU is the average width of the current dialog box font divided by 4. A vertical DLU is the average height of the current dialog-box font divided by 8.

And I couldn't understand how pixels helped you "support the minimum requirements of the clients"?
