    Resolved [RESOLVED] DrawTextW & TextWidth problem with UniCode text

    Hello,

    I just spotted a problem with DrawTextW & TextWidth. I have my Custom uniLabel control.

    It all works fine, until I tested a few greek & bulgarian alphabets.

    Basically the text gets CUT OFF. It seems usercontrol.textWidth() isn't returning the correct width of the string!

    This mainly happens if say the text/string contains both Latin & Cyrillic characters!!

    textWidth isn't calculating the width of the characters correctly... any ideas?

    *RESOLVED*

    Should've used GetTextExtentPoint32 API to get TextWidth
