String Display Width

[irtheman]

Is it possible to determine the display width of a string before it is displayed?

I am thinking of something similar to TextWidth in VB6 where you can get the

graphic width of a text string as it relates to the current font. Ideas?

Thanks!

I guess some implmentation of GetCharWidth32() or GetCharWidthFloat() (GDI32) could do this.

You can get a general idea for a specific font by trying it out and getting some averages...

Nice solution. With a few tweaks it works perfectly for me. Thanks!

This looks really awesome. I really need to play around with the Auto3Lib some time. I bet it works far more elegantly than what I am using now.
