Hello,
Do we already have something like that? A method to return the maximum number of entire characters which fit into a given maximum width. Similar to TextWidth, but with different input/output.
thanks,

Not exactly like that but you can use LCLIntf.GetTextExtentExPoint

Thanks, I introduced a new method: TCanvas.TextFitInfo to simplify obtaining this information from TCanvas. The implementation is a one liner which calls GetTextExtentExPoint
And I also implemented LCLIntf.GetTextExtentExPoint for Win32, it was wrong before.
