Adding chr(0) does not work this end, I have got around it by doing lctext + "X" when passing the string to the MeasureString method.
So moving on, how difficult is it to use the picture we have created on a report using report listeners? I already have a listener in place which changes the size of the font on a textbox based on its contents.

I'm aware of that. Unfortunately, the GDI+ function does not return so accurate measurements. I hope to publish some other ways, (and accurate) in the future. For now, just adding a chr(0) to your string should do the required trick. Make your new string to: "AAA AAA AAA" + CHR(0) Hope this helps Cesar ---------- Início da mensagem original ----------- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Data: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:43:13 -0000 Assunto: RE: GDI+ > Cesar, > > Thank you so much for this example, it's really great when someone does a > example of something which is relevant to the question as it gives me a > great help getting my head into this GDI stuff. > > The whole GdiPlusX project is absolutely excellent, my hats off to those > involved. > > I have a question about your example, and in a way its pretty much the same > as where I was upto with my own autofit routine using textbox's and > fontsize. > > In your example if you changed the string to "AAA AAA AAA" the last A gets > truncated in the image.
