Description

get_string_extentsget_string_extentsGetStringExtentsGetStringExtentsGetStringExtents queries width and height of the output size of a string using the font of the window. In addition, the extension above and below the baseline is returned (AscentAscentAscentAscentascent and DescentDescentDescentDescentdescent, respectively).

The sizes are measured in the coordinate system of the window (for text windows in pixels). Using get_string_extentsget_string_extentsGetStringExtentsGetStringExtentsGetStringExtents, it is possible to determine text output and input independently from the used font. The conversion from integer numbers and floating point numbers to text strings is the same as in write_stringwrite_stringWriteStringWriteStringWriteString.

Result

get_string_extentsget_string_extentsGetStringExtentsGetStringExtentsGetStringExtents returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if the window is valid. Otherwise an exception is raised.
