Hi, I'd like my program to know how much of a given string will fit into a rectangle using DrawText() so that it knows when to create a new 'page' so to speak.
Is this possible or will I have to use something else. (hope it makes any kinda sense!)
Cheers,
dom
DT_CALCRECT returns the height of the formatted text. Get the width from the RECT. DT_CALCRECT does not draw the text.
Code:CString strText = _T("Your line of text"); RECT rectDummy = {0,0,0,0}; int nHeight = pDC->DrawText(strText, -1, &rectDummy, DT_TOP | DT_SINGLELINE | DT_CALCRECT); int nWidth = rectDummy.right - rectDummy.left;
