Hi
Could someone please provide an example of using GetTabbedTextExtent.

I would like to get the length of a number of strings I want to add to a 
MessageDlg.  The strings are of differing length and I am using tabs "\t" to 
pad out their length.

eg
Employee\t\t\tAlphaNumeric
Age\t\t\t\t\tNumeric

would give
Employee        AlphaNumeric
Age                  Numeric

thanks
daryl
