Hello,
I'm just curious if there is a good way to figure out, how much space would drawing a text would take with a specific font and specific text.. ?
I mean, DrawText doesn't seem to return any information about how wide was the text, how many lines was printed.. etc. Am I missing something?
Cheers!

Win32
GetTextExtentPoint32()
MFC
use DrawText, an empty rect and the flag DT_CALCRECT
ie
DrawText(String, &TextRect, DT_CALCRECT );
