Width of specific text in pixels

[Juan Pablo González]

I know I've seen this, a combobox that autoadjustes itself to the longest entry in there, but I don't remember where I saw that ! What I need is find out how "long" a text (In a specific font name, size and style) is, in pixels, so i can set the column width to that... any ideas ?

Ivan, it comes with the installation of Visual Studio, common tools, just like the Package & Deployment Wizard, the API Viewer, and others.

Wow, that thins looks cool, have no idea what I'm seeing ! but, just started logging Excel's activity, and I got a whole bunch of information, events, and other stuff !

Definitely better than the API viewer.
