Given a Font and a String*, how can I find out the PIXEL width and height of
the resulting text displayed on the screen? Obviously this is necessary to
center text, especially those using proportional fonts...

Thanks in advance for responses! : )

Click to expand...

Try GetTextExtent (or one of it's variants).

Depending on quite what you're doing DrawText with DT_CENTER may be
easier though.

Hi Dave,

I think I found what I'm looking for. It's a function in the Graphics class
called MeasureString(string*, font* )... : )
