>>Hi,

>>Simplified example.
>>I have a check box on a form. The caption of the check box could change (it is data driven). And if the caption is longer than what I set at design time, I want to widen the form. Question: how do you calculate the width or length of a string?
>>
>>For example, default caption of a check box: "Company". And it may change (at run-time) to being "Company Name". I need to calculate by how much to increase the width when the caption is longer.

>>TIA
