How big is a pixel?

| I have made a form with a WIDTH property of 1024 pixels.
My desktop has a resolution og 1280 x 1024.
Yet, the form is at least 1/3 smaller than the desktop.
Why?

Check the constraints properties. You may have accidentally entered some
values in there that limit the size of the form.

| The forms width = 1024, your screen width = 1280, so the first one is 80%
smaller, or the second one is 125% bigger. What's the problem?

looks normal to me.
do the math, its .8 difference and to make sure
do a messagedlg popup some where to report to you the
actual size of your form.
P.S.
the scaling factor has something to do with it if you
the Scale property := true; it may use the systems
font size.
