    I have derived a new static control where one can the font of the text contained in the static control. However if the font size is set very big then half the text is obscured. Is there a way I can find out the new dimensions of the text and as such enlarge the static control dynamically. :confused:

      use GetTextMetrics() and adjust the size of your static control using MoveWindow() :suss: "every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots"
