I wrote a simple graph program to use in a picturebox.

The number of plotted points may vary.

I would like to auto space the labels such that if there are 500 points the
X or Y labels are not so close together that the labels over write each
other, but if there are only 3 points then more space would appear between
the labels.   All this needs to be dependent on the PBox Scale whether Pixel
or User Defined.

-------------------------------
The variables IMHO that are available are:

1)   picturebox scale.Width

2)  iDataPts = # of data points

3)  LenAllLabels = LenAllLabels + picGraph.TextWidth(DataX(i + 1))

4)    If picGraph.TextWidth(DataX(i + 1)) > LenLongestLabel Then
            LenLongestLabel = picGraph.TextWidth(DataX(i + 1))
       End If

5) Some fudge factor for spacing

-----------------------

But not sure how one would calculate or even if on the right track?

Can someone please tell me what it does for sendkeys with the following CHRs?

Chr(188)
Chr(189)
Chr(190)
Chr(191)

Many thanks!

Characters in the range 128 to 255 have different meaning based on the code
page of the system, so without the code page, it's impossible to tell what
characters they refer to. Call GetACP() to get the code page.

Very recently I've had to adjust a program to handle the Japanese
version of Windows. Their default codepage did not recognise the bullets
(Chr$(149) or ChrW$(&H2022)) that I was using in various listboxes and
labels).

As he said, GetACP() allowed me to detect the codepage and make the
appropriate adjustments.

What a hassle. What took them so long to invent unicode?

It's hard to reach that kind of stupid.

  Posting no content seems to be one of Tom's most
common responses. At first I thought he had trouble
with his email program. But then he never re-posts. So
I figure that maybe he thinks we can see his glaring,
indignant stare. :)

   Not that I don't agree with Tom. The "dissing the
USA" complaint seems a bit oversensitive, but I really
can't see the logic of blaming the lack of unicode on
ignorance. That's like asking why early cars didn't
have controls for handicapped people. They were too
busy just trying to get the darned thing to work!

+ Many folks here literally *don't care* that other cultures exist
   It might be more accurate to say they don't need
to care. When you live in Rome, what goes on in
the Celtic hinterlands simply doesn't have bearing
on your life. Now we have TV and we can see that
people are starving in Africa. But it's still pretty
abstract. It doesn't affect our lives directly. And I
haven't seen anyone posting links to Peace Corps-like
signup sites. So why the morality? If they have no
bread then let them eat unicode, right?  :)

Bingo.  I know I should, but...

   I was actually answering to the question of
why unicode wasn't invented in the beginning,
as the original standard.

   I'm with you, though, on the idea of adding
language support. I've never made a lot of money
on software. What I have made has been almost
all from Americans. And many people who speak
other languages, assuming they were going to
pay for software in the first place, are comfortable
using English-language software. I don't see where
anyone has a moral obligation to write multi-lingual
software when they're not specifically being paid
for that. But for any heart-on-the-sleeve, ethno-philic,
"world community" tripper who wants to pay I'd be
happy to design new buttons that use international
symbols. (Then again, I suppose most of those people
are using Macs.... and they only want silly software....
Never mind. :)
