1. SCREEN SIZE ISSUE
I am trying to set the display list window wide enough to not have a horizontal
scroll bar. It is several pixel's too small although the screen is plenty big
enough
and I don/t see why.
setFont(Screen, fontType, fs, Normal)
charSize = getTextExtent(Screen,"ABCDEFGHIJ")
cx = charSize[1]/10
cy = charSize[2]
maxX = getSystemMetrics(SM_CXFULLSCREEN)
maxY = getSystemMetrics(SM_CYFULLSCREEN)
heightHorScroll = getSystemMetrics(SM_CYHSCROLL)
widthVertScroll = getSystemMetrics(SM_CXVSCROLL)
widthFrame = getSystemMetrics(SM_CXFIXEDFRAME)
displayWidth = cx * reporttWidth
screenWidth = min(displayWidth + widthVertScroll + 2*widthFrame, maxX)

try charSize = getTextExtent(Screen,"WWWWWWWWWW")
(assuming you are not using a fixed width font)
