Text width of ring control

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all,
I would like to enlarge a control ring so that the largest of its items can
fit. I don't see a way to get the with of each item string in pixels.

Is there anything better than a workaround getting the text strings, writing
them to a hidden canvas and getting the pixel width from that ?

You could use GetTextDisplaySize () function, which returns height and width of a string in a given metafont (to be created with CreateMetaFont prior to using it if you are not using a predefined metafont like VAL_DIALOG_META_FONT or so). Dimensions are returned in pixels.

Absolutely. I thought I had to write the text first.
Thanks
