Help needed for calculating font height.!!

[Rajesh_Parameswaran]

Hi All, I'm trying to customize CEdit control to create dynamically growing and shrinking edit control by height. I'm stucked where I need to calculate the new height of the edit control, when the number of text exceeds the current limit. I 'm having the parameter which tells me the number of lines. I succeeded for the case of small fonts. I used the following formula: nHeight = 13 * m_LineCount + 6; This works fine.!! But I would like to generalize this..! So Can Anyone help me to calculate the height for any font. even if the font is set small / large / custom. It would be helpful for me if someone can help me to sort this out.!! :) Thanks & Regards! Rajesh

How about using CFont *font = GetFont(); LOGFONT lf; font->GetLogFont(&lf); nHeight = lf.lfHeight * m_LineCount +6; I think it will work. Ritu Kwatra

Hi Ritu, Thanks for the response. But it seems to be not working throughout. This works fine for first few lines, after that for some case, the number of lines get incremented by double instead of single. Expecting more ideas.. :) Thanks and regards!! Rajesh

Hi Rajesh, Are you sure that your linecount parameter is giving you correct value ? If possible, mail me the piece of code. Ritu Kwatra
