I'm trying to create a function that will return the length of a text
string in inches.

e.Graphics.MeasureString(mString, mFont)

Seems to be what I'm looking for, but I don't know how to pass
PaintEventArgs (e).

I don't want to use it in a paint event, I just want it to return a
number when I pass it a string and a font. How do I do this?
 
Kevin,

Will you as you have figured it out show what you did, people are searching
in this newsgroup, there is quite a few about what you have asked, but now
you are blocking them because there is a new item without an answer in that.

Thanks in advance,

Cor
