width of a char...

[JeffSabat]

How will I know the width of a character?
i'm creating a program that prints characters to a form using the Printer object and i want to position the text at the center of the form. The solution i am trying to create is by computing its width but how will i know the width of the character as every font type varies? pls help.

?Printer.TextWidth("I&quot
?Printer.TextWidth("W&quot

try

strMessage = 'Your message'
lngWidth = Printer.TextWidth(strMessage) / 2
Printer.CurrentX = Printer.ScaleWidth / 2 - lngWidth
Printer.CurrentY = 100
Printer.Print strMessage

this should centre the message on the printout
