This function computes the width and height of the specified string of text.
BOOL GetTextExtentPoint32( HDC hdc , LPCTSTR lpString , int cbString , LPSIZE lpSize );
Parameters
- hdc
- [in] Handle to the device context (DC).
- lpString
- [in] Long pointer to the string of text. The string does not need to be zero-terminated because cbStringspecifies the length of the string.
- cbString
- [in] Specifies the number of characters in the string.
- lpSize
- [out] Long pointer to a
SIZEstructure in which the
dimensions of the string are to be returned.
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The GetTextExtentPoint32function uses the currently selected font to compute the dimensions of the string. The width and height, in logical units, are computed without considering any clipping.
Because some devices kern characters, the sum of the extents of the characters in a string may not be equal to the extent of the string.
The GetTextExtentPoint32function is identical to the GetTextExtentPointfunction.
