   I'm not sure what the ' Ambient.ScaleUnits property' is. But perhaps   
   I'm not very clear on what I need.   
      
   Lets say you draw a listbox on a form. When you change the fontsize   
   for the listbox, the list box 'snaps' in a certain height depending on   
   the fontsize.   
      
   This is 'sort of' what i'm looking for. When my 'stile' is set to 0   
   I would like the object to snaps in a certain width

   oke. Knowing this probably saves me time figuring it out   
      
   thank you
