Forget about the timeFormat - you iterate from 0-9 and figure the widest glyphs in [0,1], [0,5] and [0,9] - let's reasonably say "0,3 and 7". Then you check the width for 00:37 (If you also need the date, you also need to check for the widest glyph in [0,3]) - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
