Is it possible to take this caption of text me.Caption = "Say It..." and figure out how many characters the caption takes up?
Len(s) or s.Len() returns an integer with the number of characters that the string contains. Do *not* use LenB which will return the number of bytes and is not useful for your needs.
I tried the previous solution that worked for PushButtons but now I am using a custom button that looks better with Brushed Metal windows
You can only guesstimate the size of the string (in pixels) with Len (). Unless you use a monospaced font like Courier, different characters take different amounts of space... a caption of 10 m's "mmmmmmmmmm" is considerably longer (in pixels) than 10 dots/periods "..........". The "m" character is usually the longest character in the roman alphabet, and should be a good "worst-case" size for estimations.
