Ok, apparently I lied. Nothing is easy, even
after finding WAttrib(w, "height") and
WAttrib(w, "leading")...
TextWidth() and WAttrib() require the window as
a parameter - but apparently there is no window
associated with a _Dialog while it is being setup()
(window value is &null), so I can't get use the
above after all...
Now, I *think* I can get around this by estimating
the width using the 'width' (maximum character width)
of the font, but how do I get the font during
_Dialog setup()?
Is there another way?
Thanks!
Steve
