I need a way to convert a scaled value in Visual Basic to a 
pixel value.

Explanation:

I have the scale set to (280,210) for my form. I am using BITBLT to
display bitmaps on the background of the form, but BITBLT uses a pixel
value in its call for the X & Y locations.  How do I go from a 
Scale value to a pixel value?


Next question:

Is there any way to find the value of a Variable while Visual Basic is running?
I would like to write a routine that expands on the VAL function.
Example:  Print Val("3+5") always results in a 3.  I'd like to change it so
the result is an 8.  Example 2: Print Val("3X") would print 3, but I want it
to display 3*X (whatever the value of X is).  Is there a VB internal routine
that would tell me the value of any variable that I pass to it?

Any help would be muchly appreciated...
