    Re: Get Textbox Font Height

    Unless I'm doing something wrong (always a possibility) it appears that TEXTMETRIC does NOT return the correct values (to compute the font height) for VB controls -- other than for a Form and a Picturebox (Note: both a Form and Picturebox have Scale properties. Whether this is significant is unknown.)

    Using the posted code (in the original post) if one deletes With Me.Text1 and substitutes just With Me -- or -- With Me.Picture1 the correct value is returned. For All other controls, TEXTMETRIC consistently returns the "same wrong value".

    Can anyone explain why this occurs???
