Moving user forms

[visdev1]

How would you match visio's pinX and pinY to a userform's .Top and .Left ?
I have a user form that i want to move over another shape. So i need some
way to match the X Y of the form to the X Y of the shape.
Thanks for any help!

simple math. pinx and piny are are the centers (half the length and width)
of the visio shape. you have to compute the virtual pinx and piny of your
form by offsetting it's height and width by it's top and left.

so do i convert inches to points or twips?

Also, isn't visio's pinx piny values show distance from the edge of the page
and the form is the distance from the edge of the screen?

I think it may be a pixel. I have analyzed another case about PinXY and mouse
position, the result is in "Output.pdf" in my file;

Im using visio2000 is there another function i could use other then
GetWindowRect.
This looks like what i want i just need accurate coordinates for the formula.
Thanks for your help
