c++ - Winapi get string width in pixels

Question

I'm trying to create a method that gives me the width of a string in pixels. My code so far:

inline void getTextWidth(HWND hwnd char* text) {
    SIZE textSize;
    GetTextExtentPoint32(GetDC(hwnd), text, strlen(text), &textSize);
    return ?;
}

I know that I should use LPtoDP (MSDN), but at wants points as parameters and not the SIZE that GetTextExtentPoint32 returns.

How do I convert this?

Answer 1

The SIZE structure contains both a height and a width. Since you only care about the width, you apparently want LPtoDP(textSize.cx);.
