Title: Get font width
Post by: Andy on October 01, 2020, 01:07:13 AM

I'm customising my editor program now, so you can set font size (done) and change font name (on this).

Changing font size doesn't make a difference to my calculation of where you are in the rich edit control (the edit position), BUT, changing the font does.

Now try as I might, I can't find how to get the selected font details - in particular the font width.

In iwbstd.inc we have this:

Code Select

TYPE LOGFONT
	DEF lfHeight as INT
	DEF lfWidth as INT
	DEF lfEscapement as INT
	DEF lfOrientation as INT
	DEF lfWeight as INT
	DEF lfItalic as CHAR
	DEF lfUnderline as CHAR
	DEF lfStrikeOut as CHAR
	DEF lfCharSet as CHAR
	DEF lfOutPrecision as CHAR
	DEF lfClipPrecision as CHAR
	DEF lfQuality as CHAR
	DEF lfPitchAndFamily as CHAR
	DEF lfFaceName[32] as ITSTRING 
ENDTYPE

But how do I get say the lfWidth value?

There's plenty examples of setting / creating fonts but not getting font details as far as I can see.

Any one done this?

Thanks,
Andy.

Found a post eventually on here and amended it.

I can now correctly adjust my edit position.

See attached.
