Are you using the same font in the HDC as used by the dialog?

I use GetTextExtentPoint32 to get the width of a text on a dialog. First I
call GetDC(hDlg) and then GetTextExtentPoint32 with the dialog DC. But the
returned value is incorrect. It is larger than the actual width of the text
on the dialog.

thanks
