1. RE: win32lib getTextExtent on XP
Hi Derek,
I Use XP home edition with win32lib 57.9 and do not have any trouble
with getTextExtent(). I use if extensively to size buttons and LText.

Hello again Derek,
Does the winlib function call
GetTextExtentPoint32A()
or
GetTextExtentPoint32W()
?
Take care for now,
Al

Hello again,
I just thought that maybe if the library called the ansi version
then if someone tried to poke in a unicode text string with the
zero first it might cause the GetTextExtentPoint32A() function
to fail. I would think it would handle a zero as a null character
though, but i havent ever tried this.
Perhaps the user could tell you what the return value from the
function call was also: 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'.
GetLastError() should report a number we can track to some useful
info too probably...if you can ask them to call that function
right after the GetTextExtentPoint32A() call...
Take care for now,
Al
