Hi,
maybe you can create some temporary canvas, assign TEdit.Font to TCanvas.Font,
do the measurement and free that canvas.

Předmět: [Lazarus] Measuring text width in a TEdit
Hi List.
I want to know the placement of the caret (in pixels, not character
count) in a TEdit. However i am struggeling to fint a method that will
allow me to do so.
If i try to calculate it using the assigned font, I have the problem
that TEdit.Font.GetTextWidth always returns the default size (16), since
the Font doesn't have a canvas assigned to it.
The TEdit itself does not really have any methods for calculation the
caret position in pixels either.
All suggestions are welcome. :)
Kind regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen.
