Hello there.

Does anyone know of a way I can get either a richTextBox control to tell me
the size of the text it contains. I'm trying to create a control which
automatically resizes to snugly fit its contents. The biggest problem is
that the contents can be pictures and tables - as well as just text. Does
anyone have any ideas?

Also I'd be happy to do a similar thing with a browser object if necessary.

Many Thanks

Hi Thomas,

If you can read VB code (mostly API calls), here is a sample that might give
you some ideas at least as far as text is concerned:
