I'm building a simple Windows Form with tabs at the top. I'm writing some
code to ensure that each tab will be wide enough to accomodate the text that
will go in it - for both English and other languages.
So I used the MeasureString method to figure out the width of the text.
This came back in pixels. Fine. But then I went to the TabPage object to
get its width. To my great surprise the width value was in Twips, even
though articles like this say this isn't so

From previous experience in VB6 I've learned that one cannot always depend
upon 1 Pixel = 15 Twips. On some screen resolutions I've seen 1:12.
So, I'm wondering if the TabPage.Width value is a known bug in .Net and if
there's a workaround that anyone knows of.
Sincerely,
