Where is "textwidth" in C# express? 1

[murrayja]

I would like to obtain or calculate the width in pixels that a string will occupy in a control (listview). In VB6 there was 'textwidth()' for this but I can't find anything to use in C#.
The Font object almost helps but there is no average character width.

Help anyone?

Take a look at MeasureString() in the Graphics object. It will probably do what you want.

That helped but I have to 'fudge' the result by 4/3.
