I have a scrolling field, which contains lines of text. I can
click on a line of the field to select a line, and then take
action. If the text in the line is too long, it wraps and my
selection does not work anymore (the physical line does not match
the logical line anymore).

How can I find out if a line of a field wraps

  - or -

what is the length IN PIXELS of a piece of text given a font and
style?

Reply by e-mail, I'll summarize if relevant.
