>Is there a way to determine the size of a form (window) necessary to display a text string using a specific font given a specific width for the form (window) and assuming that text wrapping is occurring? As an example, given a window 160 pixels in width, how many pixels high must this window be in order to display the string 'Blah blah blah ... blah' using an Arial 10 point font?

Malcolm,
Check out Message#455966 for a formula to calculate this. You can also check out the other options available with Fontmetric().
