How to relate label's height to the font size?
|
|
|
| I want to give user option to select the font size.
Experimentally I found the proper label's height values, but I do not think
it is a proper way.
Is there any formula covering that?

Have you looked at the AutoSize property for the label?

Not one you'd want to use. You can get VB to tell you what size the
text will be. Add a Label and a Button to a new form and try out the
test code below....
LFS
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim siz As Long
Label1.AutoSize = True
siz = 8
Do While siz < 100
' Change size
Label1.Font.Size = siz
' Copy font to Form
Set Me.Font = Label1.Font
' Compare values
Debug.Print "SIZE: "; siz,
Debug.Print "TEXT: "; Me.TextHeight(Label1.Caption)
Debug.Print "LABEL: "; Label1.Height,
' Increment size
siz = siz * 1.25
Loop
End Sub

| I missed that Autosize Label property :(.
Thank you for showing it.
But how it will be if I replace the label with the text box?
How to resize the height of textbox in relation to the font size?

| That's a bit more tricky. The best way would probably be to use the
GetTextExtentPoint32 API and then use GetClientRect and GetWindowRect
to APIs to determine the current size and make any adjustments from
there.
