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

String str="Employee\t\t\tAlphaNumeric";
  int tabs[]={100,200,300};


  DWORD
values=GetTabbedTextExtent(Canvas->Handle,str.c_str(),str.Length(),3,t
abs);
  ShowMessage(String("Height=")+String(HIWORD(values)));
  ShowMessage(String("Width=")+String(LOWORD(values)));

values=GetTabbedTextExtent(Canvas->Handle,str.c_str(),str.Length(),0,N
ULL);
  ShowMessage(String("Height=")+String(HIWORD(values)));
  ShowMessage(String("Width=")+String(LOWORD(values)));
