Hi Everybody
First of all I must say I'm completely new to the Win32::GUI module programming
(and Win32 in general) - I just installed (on Win'98 and latest version of
ActiveState Perl) binary version fetched from sourceforge. Getting to the
point - to get the length and
width of some font text I tried to use GetTextExtentPoint32 t but I failed to
find the
way to specify font to be affected in return value.
I tried:
1)
$Window->GetTextExtentPoint32($font, "some text");
2)
$Window->SelectObject($Window->{DC}, $font);
$Window->GetTextExtentPoint32("some text");
3)
$Window->SetFont($font);
$Window->GetTextExtentPoint32("some text");
In both cases $font was created by new WIN32::GUI::Font method and
successfully aplied to Paint method (TextOut). No matter the -size and
-name was the return value was the same.
Regards
Darek
PS. Perhaps I missed something It's very late in the night.
