Change Ruler Measurements
To change measurements, you need to call measurement conversion at run-time, for example, the CmToInch method or InchToCm method at run-time. For example, you can use the following code when you are working in centimeters and need to convert a Label's position measurements from centimeters to inches at run-time.
On the design surface select the section containing a control like a Label.
In the Properties Panel, click the Events button to get a list of report events.
Select the Format event and double-click to create an event-handling method.
Add code like the following to the handler to set the size of the control using centimeters to inches.
Me.Label1.Left = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2) Me.Label1.Top = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2)this.label1.Left = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2); this.label1.Top = SectionReport1.CmToInch(2);
