Hello,

I'm using TRichView to display 132 column text-based reports, using a

non-proportional font (courier new) so that columns line up.  I don't

want the lines to wrap, since that is unreadable, so I'm setting

MinTextWidth to a value that works well.  However, the user has the

option to change the font size, and when she increases the font size the

MinTextWidth is too small, and the lines wrap.  Is there a way to

calculate the size in pixels of a line of text for a given

font/fontsize?  Or is there a better way of accomplishing what I'm

trying to do?

Thanks,

Jim Gallagher
