    Using DrawText

    Hi !
    I want to display several items in a CView in a vertical mode.
    I create the CFont with a LOGFONT (using Arial font and a lfEscapement set to 900 = 90°).
    My problem is how to display all the item using DrawText. How to calculate ce CRect for displaying each item ?

    If you use the DT_CALCRECT format, DrawText will size the rectangle you pass in to fit the text, but it won't draw the text. See the online help for DrawText.

    When you select the font into a DC, the GetTextExtent() function will still return meaningful results. Its just that the .x will be the height of the font, while the .y value will be the length of the text in that font.
