Re: SetTextCharacterExtra

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You can reproduce it my creating a new Project. And replacing the
CNewView::OnDraw() with:

void CNewView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
pDC->SetMapMode(MM_HIMETRIC);
pDC->SetTextCharacterExtra(85);
CRect r;

CString strName="1884-1922"; //does not print '-'
r.SetRect(200,-2000,8000,-3000);
pDC->DrawText(strName,r,DT_CENTER);

strName="ABCDEFG";
r.SetRect(200,-3000,8000,-4000);
pDC->DrawText(strName,r,DT_CENTER);

strName="1884X1922";//the X gets printed over the 4
r.SetRect(200,-4000,8000,-5000);
pDC->DrawText(strName,r,DT_CENTER);

strName="1884 1922";
r.SetRect(200,-5000,8000,-6000);
pDC->DrawText(strName,r,DT_CENTER);

strName="1a2b3c1A2B3C4X";
r.SetRect(200,-6000,8000,-7000);
pDC->DrawText(strName,r,DT_CENTER);
}

Thank you,

I think it might be my display driver.
I got the same code to work on some computers and others fail.

This functionality is too basic in order to ascribe the problem to
a display driver bug. Of course, everything is possible, but as a
first step I'd suggest you to reproduce the problem with minimal
standalone application.
