Is there more to determining the pixel size of the text string? In using
your example, the largest pixel string value was 557, and varied from
224 to 557, yet the text strings being added to the listbox fill the
horizontal width of the box. It is a formatted content, and tab characters
are used to position each column of data. The font being used is
Courier New with a pitch of 10 - I suspect that the getTextSizePx is
sizing the string before Tab expansion and assumes the default font for the
dialog, which with tabs and different pitch characters would make quite
a difference. Thanks for the info, it gave me enough to make this work
through trial and error, but would like a better algorithm on how to be
sure I give it enough width.
