I am trying to locate either a sample routine for or to at least
acquire the knowledge of how to determine how large of a window to
create to hold a text string. From my search so far, it would seem
that this is a common request, but I have yet to come across an
example solution.
I have a situation in which I need to size a window accurately, or
either I have to guess what the largest the window could ever be and
set it to a flat number. Really don't want to do this, therefore I'm
in search of a way to determine, given a string, a font, and a window
width, how high the window would need to be to hold the string.
Thank you for any pointers,
-Neil K. 3 1189
Hi Neil,
You can determine the size of a String using a given font and Graphics
control using Graphics.Measur eString or Graphics.Measur eCharacterRange s.

I don't know if there's a ".NET way" to do this, but you could probably use
the DrawText API function with the DT_CALCRECT option.

Hi Neil,
Graphics.Measur eString is the what you need.
You can provide enough info to that method (e.g text wrap, alignment, etc)
to get the size of your window.
The code should be pretty straightforward .

I open a new window from the current window to display maps.
Several maps of different sizes can be displayed. The function is given the
size of the map and adjusts the window size accordingly.
If a new window is already open, the new map sizes are ignored and the new
map is is either too small for the existing "new" window or too big, which
is a more serious problem!
I've tried to fix this by closing the new window if it is already...

Ever since I upgraded my Windows display to 120 DPI (kind of a necessary
change), fonts have been clearer and graphics have been crisper. However,
the 25% automatic increase in the text size on my web site has thrown it all
askew.
Combining my monitor's native resolution of 1280x1024 and the XP setting of
120 DPI, everything else is great, but now standard Serif on my web site
looks like I'm reading a Dr. Seuss book.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
