Size of formatted field value

44 Views

Hi experts,

I have been researching this issue quite some time now, but can not find a solution.

Does anyone know how I can get the formatted field length for a text field in FormCalc? This means the length of the field on the print in millimeter. Respecting the used font and font size.

The field I am talking about is set to expand automatically with the content. Thus I do not know the field size until I get the data.

I can get the number of characters in the field without problem, but that does not do me any good as an "i" is not a wide as an "m" in proportional fonts.

cheers Carsten
