Description

Sets or returns the units used for the column width and row height.

Syntax

long CSpreadSheet::GetUnitType( );
void CSpreadSheet::SetUnitType(long value);

[form.]fpSpread.UnitType[ = setting%]

Remarks

The following settings are available:

Setting	Description	Constant
0 - Normal	Column width and row height are based on system fixed font	UnitTypeNormal
1 - VGA Base	Column width and row height are based on predetermined value	UnitTypeVGABase
2 - Twips	Units are in twips (1/1440 inch)	UnitTypeTwips

This setting is applied to the entire workbook, including all sheets in the control.

Settings 0 (Normal) and 1 (VGA Base) are very similar. You probably will not notice any difference between the settings unless your display is set to a high resolution.

Note: If you change the UnitType property, set it before any other property is referenced within the Form_Load event. The application cannot change this value once you set it.
