Text height

[vbgladiator]

Hey,

I have a form with a grid in it. The grid's dock property is set to fill so that it resizes along with the form. I have rows with captions saying hours of the day. I want to change the font size of the rows' captions as soon as the text is a lot smaller than the row height. Is there a way to figure out the height of a text in pixels? I can then compare it to the row's height to see.

Thanks,

Can't you just get the font size of the grid?? And compare it to the row height?

I just found the height property of a font object. Thanks.

I was looking at that, and it seems to be the "em-size"... which isnt necessarily the same size in pixels... trying to find a way to convert em-size to pixels... I don't think the two are quite the same... but it may still work... i think the em-size unit might already be set to pixel for the font object...

It seems that the em-size of a font is in "points" (hence, 8pt, 12pt, etc), which aren't actually pixels. 1 point = 1/72 of an inch. So pixels are actually an entirely different thing...

Yeah, but if you use the height of the font object it returns the line spacing of the font in pixels as integer.

Thanks,
