>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I am trying to find a message(s) discussing how to center a WAIT WINDOW command in a VFP window. I would be very surprised if this has never been discussed or brought up. But no matter what I enter in the UT Search, I cannot find a thread. What would you enter in the UT Search to find such a message(s)?
>>>
>>>TIA
>>
>>Using Sergey Berezniker's code I can place the WAIT WIND almost exactly where I want. But I have to do a trial and error a few times. It would be nice if I could get the value of the length of the string to be shown in WAIT WIND. For example, say my string is "Please wait". Is there a way to calculate the width (or a length) in Foxels of this string?

https://doughennig.blogspot.com/2006/04/forget-txtwidth-use-gdipmeasurestring.htmlOne of the examples used in the article you suggested (thank you!) is
lnWidth = txtwidth(lcText, lcFontName, lnFontSize, lcFontStyle)
I replaced lcFontName with _screen.FontName and lnFontSize with _screen.FontSize.
But I don't know what property of _screen to use for the value of lcFontStyle. The _screen does not have a property matching the name "FontStyle" but has other Font* properties.
Do you happen to know what property of _screen to use for lcFontStyle?
