GDI Datatype FIX

Hi

What's a FIX number? "A fixed-point number" ... that's all I found in the
MSDN... ok, 10.22 ? 1.31? 31.1? 25.7 ? ... can someone tell me that?
I think it is 28.4 ... but that's just a guess...
second question... can we be shure that this wouldn't change? Or if not, how
can I then "translate" this to a float or an integer?

thanks
MR

Yes, it's 28.4. Look at the definition of the macros LTOFX and FXTOL,
which translate between longs and FIXes.

Yes, it won't change. Use the macros, if you want to be sure.
