Determine bounding rect of a string [modified]

[AnTri]

Hey, I've a string including multiple lines. Now I want to use the DrawText DT_CALC feature to calc the height of the bounding rectangle, but leave the right side as it is. The returning rect has always a extended right side. How can I solve this problem? Thank you...

I don't what you are trying to do but does GetTextExtent[^] help ?

Maybe you should include DT_WORDBREAK flags?

pDC->DrawText(szText, reRect, DT_CALCRECT | DT_WORDBREAK);

try using \r\n instead of \n only in szText
