Calculates the width (in pixels) of the text displayed in an edit control, in a Combo Box control or in a Static control. This allows you to predict the width occupied by the text in order to enlarge the control if necessary.
ResNbPixels is real = TextWidth(EDT_Edit1, "Hello")
Syntax
<Result> = TextWidth(<Control name> , <Text> [, <Options>])
<Result>: Real
Width of the text (in pixels) in the specified control (according to the control style).You can get the width in millimeters by using the following formula:
<Nb pixels> = <Screen resolution>*<Nb millimeters>/25.4
<Control name>: Character string
Name of the Edit control, Static control or Combo Box control.
<Text>: Character string
Text whose width must be calculated.
<Options>: Optional integer constant
Configures the mode for calculating the width of the text: | |
| tWithMargin | Allows you to take into account the margins set for the control (left indentation, right indentation, etc.).
This constant can be combined with the tMultiline constant. |
tDefault
(default value) | Width of the text in the control. |
| tMultiline | Width of the text in the control. The maximum width will correspond to the width of the control. |
| tSingleLine | Width of the text while ignoring the width of the control. This constant is used to get a precision greater than the one given by the tDefault constant. |
