CListCtrl using OnCustomDraw()

[Chris Vischer]

Hi all, i am drawing the listitems by myself using OnCustomDraw(). Calculating the text length i am using pDC->GetTextExtended(s) where pDC is the DC i received in the parameter struct. That's working fine, but if i want to calculate the text lenght in another member function using: CDC *pDC = GetDC(); CSize cs = pDC->GetTextExtended(s); where s is the same string, i get a different size. Any advise. TIA Chris
