Returns the height of a text string as it would be drawn in the current font.
[ fHeight = ] Object.TextHeight ( sText )
The TextHeight property syntax has the following parts:
|
Name |
Type |
Description |
|
Object |
AForm |
AForm object |
|
sText |
Val BString |
A string expression that evaluates to a string for which the text height is determined. |
|
fHeight |
Float |
An integer specifying the number of units for the vertical measurement of the interior of an object when using graphics methods or when positioning controls. |
The height is expressed in terms of the ScaleMode property setting or Scale method coordinate system in effect for object. Use TextHeight to determine the amount of vertical space required to display the text. The height returned includes the normal leading space above and below the text, so you can use the height to calculate and position multiple lines of text within object.
If string contains embedded carriage returns, TextHeight returns the cumulative height of the lines, including the leading space above and below each line.
The following statement changes the AForm's TextHeight to 12 of the units specified by the ScaleMode property:
lfrm1TextHeight = frm1.TextHeight("12")
