How to get these units?

[_duandc_]

Please follow the steps:
1. Edit->Preferences->Units & Display performance... to bring the dialog.
2. In "Units" group, we can change units for "General", "Stroke", "Type" and "Asian Type".

We can use AIUserSuite::GetUnitsString to get the general units, but how to get the other three units? Does anybody know it?

thanks

Interesting, I don't see anything in the API for doing that. Unless someone can find it squirreled away somewhere, it looks like there might be a hole in the API where this is concerned.

Hi,
You can get these units with AIPreference Suite.

long units;
sAIPreference->GetIntegerPreference(NULL, "strokeUnits", &units);
sAIPreference->GetIntegerPreference(NULL, "text/units", &units);
sAIPreference->GetIntegerPreference(NULL, "text/asianunits", &units);

These suffix strings were found in AIPrefs file.

You don't need to access the prefs file directly, the values are just stored there. They can be obtained using AIUserSuite::GetUnitsString.
