Your requirment is still not clear.
You just need to know the wdt/ht of controls to create the same kind of controls in the same dialog. why do u want to get it from jpeg file. In VS itself you have the option to create it in same size rt?

because the screenshot that i've taken is not my code and i'm not able to get the code.i just got the screenshot and i should insert controls of same type and size.that is the reason

In mspaint itself you can do this.
Zoom the image to larger size from mspaint
Insert Grid by pressing Ctrl+G
at the bottom left corner you can see the coordinate of each mouse point.

Use Adobe Photoshop, there you have ruler and scale to measure pixels. There are various other complex image editors which you can take in handy.

Actually I am not sure that you want your control width and height using program or with the help of mspaint.

1) If using mspaint than you can first select "magnifier" from the tool and select its range to 8x and than press "Ctrl + g" and than check the width and height of the control.

2)Use GetRect() to get the size of control and with the help of the rectangle you get you can find the width and height of control.
