I have an InkEdit control in a Frame on a Userform and need to know it's height in order to position a label underneath it.
I had thought the count of linefeeds would serve but some line are wordwrapped in the control and not by a VBLF Character.
I tried setting a label with autosize On to the same font, width etc as the InkEdit control and the InkEdit height to the labels height. But this leaves too much land between the last row and the end (As shown up by the backcolor). It's also not consistent with differing numbers of rows.
Any help getting this right would be most welcome!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Sorry - I only just saw this now. That's probably what I would've done, but I would add that there is an API you can use to get the actual pixel width/height of a text string given the character length and font settings being used. I can dig that out if you still need it.
