How many pixels text is going to take?

[greensky]

How can I know how much screen space a ToolTip with some text is going to take?

I'd like to be able to position a ToolTip in the upper-right corner of the screen... without the ToolTip going off the screen, of course.

Is there any Windows API function for calculating this (given the text and font name, size, etc.)?

I'd really appreciate any help with this... Thanks!

maybe this

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$tip_info = "tip information now displaying"
$pos = StringLen($tip_info)
ToolTip($tip_info,@DesktopWidth - ($pos * 5), 0)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    ;Case $msg = $GUI_Button
        
        
    EndSelect
    
Wend

$ToolTipText = "This is a Tooltip in the upper" & @LF & "right corner"
ToolTip($ToolTipText, @DesktopWidth, 0)
$pos = WinGetPos($ToolTipText)
WinMove($ToolTipText, "", @DesktopWidth - $pos[2], 0)
Sleep(2000); Sleep to give tooltip time to display

Humm... Those will work!

That one using WinGetPos... very ingenious!

Thank you!
