GRAPHIC GET CLIENT statement

Purpose | Retrieve the client size of the selected graphic target.
Syntax | GRAPHIC GET CLIENT To WidthVar!, HeightVar! Function form: WidthVar! = GRAPHIC(Client.X) HeightVar! = GRAPHIC(Client.Y)
Remarks | GRAPHIC GET CLIENT retrieves the physical size of the client area (visible part) of the attached graphic window or control. The size is specified in Pixels or Dialog Units, depending upon how it was created. The sizes returned are not altered or affected by GRAPHIC SCALE, VIRTUAL, or AUTOSIZE operations, as it returns the physical size of the viewable area in the terms used to create it. The client area does not include a caption, frame, scrollbars, etc. When GRAPHIC GET CLIENT is used with a bitmap, it returns 0,0. You would normally use GRAPHIC GET CANVAS with a Bitmap, or to obtain the size of the area which can be drawn. If no graphic target has been attached with GRAPHIC ATTACH, the values 0,0 are returned.
