Return value
Integer or long. Returns the converted value if it succeeds and -1 if an error occurs. If any argument's value is null, PixelsToUnits returns null.
If the value of the first argument is an integer type, then the return value is an integer type; if the value of the first argument is a long type, then the return value is a long type; if the value of the first argument is a numeric value, then the return value is a long type by default.
Examples
These statements convert 35 horizontal pixels to PowerBuilder units and set the variable Value equal to the converted value:
long Value Value = PixelsToUnits(35, XPixelsToUnits!)
