TControl.ChangeScale

Applies scaling (multiplier and divider) to the bounds coordinates, constraints, and Font in a control.

Declaration

Source position: controls.pp line 1397

protected procedure TControl.ChangeScale(

  Multiplier: Integer;

  Divider: Integer

); virtual;

Arguments

Multiplier

  

Multiplicand used to calculate the scaled numeric values.

Divider

  

Divisor used to calculate the scaled numeric values.

Description

ChangeScale is a method used to apply scaling, expressed by the Multiplier and Divider arguments, to size values in the control. These values include:

ChangeScale calls the MulDiv routine in the LCLType unit to calculate the scaled numeric values. The results from the calculations are rounded and returned as an Integer type.

No actions are performed in the method when Multiplier and Divider have the same value.

ChangeScale can be overridden in descendent classes to perform any additional action needed for the class type.

ChangeScale is called from the ScaleControls and ScaleBy methods in the TWinControl descendant.
