Hi Ev1,
I'm working on a Semi-Selection of Shapes on a Slide, which means that
if you select a shape, even partially it will become selected.
Because the API function that i'm working with demands on working with
Pixels, i have a problam.
My problem is related with view distance (when i press on 'fit to page
it becomes 77% ) of a slide, and i have a few question:
1) Is it always 77% when i fit the view distance?
2) How do i set the view distance?
3) How do i check about the screen resolution?

4) Can i solve my problem with PointToPixel Method
Thanx,
Gil H.

What is the view distance?

If you choose View, Zoom and choose the FIT option, it will not always be 77%.
For example, here I get 95, 99 or 85% depending on what task panes are visible.

I don't know;  it would help if you could state the problem more precisely
though.  If I recall from your earlier post:

You want to let the user define a rectangle on screen (click and drag?).
You need to find out how the screen coordinates they've selected relate to
PowerPoint's slide coordinates.
