• There are 1440 Twips per inch.
• These values are general and may not apply to every device within a category.
  
  To verify these measurements you can create a project that displays the height and width properties of the screen object. The following section shows you how to create a project to display the maximum window size.

NOTE: HPC devices cannot be targeted from eMbedded Visual Basic. PocketPC and HPC 2000 devices cannot be targeted from the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic.

Steps to Create the Sample Project

1. Create a new Windows CE project in either Visual Basic or eMbedded Visual Basic. Use the emulation mode for the project. Form1 is created by default.
2. Add a CommandButton to Form1.
3. Copy the following code to the Form1 code window:

   Option Explicit
   
   Private Sub Form_Load()
      Command1.Caption = "Maximum Window Size"
   End Sub
   
   Private Sub Command1_Click()
      Dim strSize As String
      strSize = "Maximum Height: " & Screen.Height & " Twips"
      strSize = strSize & vbCrLf
      strSize = strSize & "Maximum Width: " & Screen.Width & " Twips"
      MsgBox strSize
   End Sub
   						

4. Press F5 to start the project. Click the Maximum Window Size button to display the maximum window size information.
