Hi

OMG, i know how measure the text in the width, but the total height of the text is occupaying in pixels, how do i read that??

im just asking this , because i dont know other alternative.

I have a text and i want to use the vertical slider to scroll text down, but for that i need to know how much it uses of pixels to then multyply for the slider maximum.

Im using TrueType font, and Wrap for text , using size_y.

Thanks.

I THINK that the height in pixels is its point-size.
ie. arial#24 I believe is 24 pixels tall. But bold/italics may vary that.

Hopefully someone else can verify this.

well but i mean is.

if you have a tex like this:

"today news are.. bla bla vl
bla bla bl
bla bla "

you have 3 lines, how much from the beginning to the end, how much pixels it needed, or is ocupaying, from top to bottom, so i can say when the pixel is more then x, scroll down..

not the size of individual height.

thanks anyway

I just tested.. bold and italics don't differ from the normal text-height. It is the point-size. So you simply count the number of linefeed in your string and multiply the result with the point-size.

hum , for the line feed count.. how do calculate? and i must know the distance between the upper text and the space between the lower (bottom one) or there is no space?

for countin feed i have to do search text for \n characters?
or do you have a another way?

thanks so much

and how do i calculate the line feeder?

im using WRAP? there is not way to do the.

search in the text string for the "\n" :s

PLease someone help me

I need to know the Text size in y , to scrool the text down using the Hslider

And i need to input the max of the slider with that value

so its min is 0 and max is 1*size_y

but i dont know the size_y .. i mean im using that already to cut the text when y is 200 to fit the box where it is..


Help me. Thanks.

I cant really test this easily ATM, but try doing a diagnostic on YourText.length.
It is an internal property of the TEXT object, I havent found any documentation for it, but with
any luck it may be a measure of the number of lines after 'WRAP'ing or something.

lenght is not equal to lines, i dont think so..
