Another oops

I forgot to select the write font into the dc before calling GetTextExtent.

This is what the resize method should look like

void CAutoWidthButton::ResizeButton()
{
   CString Text;
   GetWindowText(Text);
   CRect Rect;
   GetWindowRect(&Rect);

   CDC *pDC = GetDC();
   CFont *pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject(GetFont());
   CSize Size = pDC->GetTextExtent(Text);
   pDC->SelectObject(pOldFont);
   ReleaseDC(pDC);

   SetWindowPos(NULL,0,0,Size.cx +
10,Rect.Height(),SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOZORDER);
}

I'd like to dynamically change the size of my CButton derived control

based

upon the text/bitmap size. So if the application calls

SetWindowText

during program flow the button rect will update.

What's the best way to capture this and override the rect size?

Thanks

Eric
