DESCRIPTION

The Scale Control provides a ruler that can be placed on any VB Form.  This
is very useful if you are writing a screen painter or simlar tool in Visual
Basic.  This control has been designed for Visual Basic V3.0.

EVENTS AND PROPERTIES OF THE CONTROL
-------------------------------------

EVENTS 
--------
There are Three standard events for this control.

1. Click
2. DragDrop
3. DragOver

PROPERTIES
-----------

The Control supports a subset of standard VB properties and a set of custom
properties.  The custom properties supported by the control are

1. Scale Type : This property decides as to whther the ruler has to be horizontal
		or vertical.  The default is horizontal.

2. Start :     This property sets the starting point for the ruler.  The value
		must be provided in twips.  The default value is 0.

3. Granularity : This property decides the smallest measurement that can be performed
		 by the ruler.  The input value must be given in twips.  The default
		 value is 144 twips ie. 0.1 in.

4. Mark Length : This property is used to set the length in twips of the stroke 
		  used to signify the smallest unit of measurement.  The default is
		  0.1 in (144 twips)

5. Half Mark   : This value gives the integral multiple that must be used to draw
		 the half inch marker.  The length of the half inch marker is 
		 determined by the following method.
		 Length = HalfMark * Marklength.
		 The default value is 2 (ie. The Half Inch Marker is twice as long as
		 the smallest marker )

6. Inch Mark   : This value is similar to the half mark but it is used to determine
		 the length of the One Full Inch marker.  The Default is 3.


The standard properties supported by SCALE are quite straightforward.  
Note : The Align standard property applies only when the scale type is Horizontal
       For a vertical scale it will produce bizzaire results.
