That will work with the same text on a different correctly defined GROB if you don't want it to be printed on the current GROB and it will work with the different font sizes.

That’s what I was previously doing, I found that I could actually just draw off screen and still return the X coordinate and I was using that as a workaround tho TEXTSIZE seems what I should be using from what I can tell and it gives me the height which I may require one day tho with fixed font sizes I don’t see height being any real benefit in reality.

Me too:

Code:


GetWidthPix(Cadena, Fuente) //Obtiene el ancho en pixeles de una cadena Font=1
BEGIN
  LOCAL xAncho; 
  DIMGROB_P(G7,319,239,RGB(255,255,255)); 
  RECT_P(G7);
  xAncho := TEXTOUT_P(Cadena,G7,0,0,Fuente, RGB(0,0,255));
  RETURN xAncho;
END
