dxGetTextHeight

[MX_Master]

Sometimes in script I want to know the height of DX text, which will be drawn later with dxDrawText. dxDrawText uses wordBreak with true as value and text can be drawn as multi-line text. This height needs to draw black box (rectangle) under the text. dxGetTextWidth and dxGetFontHeight works fine, but only for one-line texts.

dxDrawText uses DirectX's DrawText function with own word wrap mechanism and this is a problem.

If someone already scripted this function manually, please, give it here as code example.

Well you can check if it is text wrapping by doing:

if (*TEXTWIDTH* > *WIDTH OF THE TEXT PART*) then 
       //Now it is word wrapping because it is bigger then the width of the text part. 
end

((: thanks for nothing

i think it's better way to write wrap function by myself...

Ok i didnt understand your question but now i do. The problem is that it is determined in the dxDrawText function when and where to wrap the words. So as i said: you can use the function above to determine if wordwrapping is used and then after that do twice the font height of one line.

I know it is hard to understand but i think that is what you are asking for?

i already scripted custom wrap mechanism same as uses dxDrawText, while waiting for proper help (: thanks, anyway

I learned one thing - it is better not ask about anything, quickly figured out answers by myself

Well i dont know how your wrap function works so i cant help.

And true, it is more usefull to watch to the code by yourself. There is nearly always a logic answer.
