- I have created a (modeless) dialog box, defined at compile-time using
- "Dialog Editor", included in the MS QuickC/Win package. The dialog box
- contains a text field control (LTEXT) for displaying text.
-
- At run-time I need to know the width and height of the characters to
- display in this text field but I can't get hold of the right
- information. GetTextMetrics() returns the _same_ data regardless of the
- font (specified w "Dialog Editor") I use. Why?
- GetDialogBaseUnits() does not return any useful information either, I
- have received the same size (20x10) on all the fonts (System,
- Courier,..) I have tried. I calculated the different fonts to be 16x10,
- 20x8, etc on a certain device.
-
- Wrong functions? Any ideas?
-
- I use QC/Win 1.0, Win 3.1.
