Using GetRect and GetWidth to find string pixel width
« on: May 24, 2008, 05:27:01 pm »
Hi,

Could somebody provide me with a simple example of how I can obtain the pixel width of a sf:string object please? I see that there is a string GetRect method which I'm guessing can be used (with the Rect GetWidth method) to achieve this.

I'd like to use these to centre some text and menus.

Many thanks.

Laurent

You've found the solution, so... what's the purpose of this post ?

I was doing the exact same thing yesterday using the same method you described and it worked great I can tell you.

I wasn't sure if that was the correct way to achieve it until you confirmed it. I'll try them out.

Thanks.
