I know that I can determine the length of a line as in sngLineLnth = Printer.TextWidth(Text1.Text).
Because I have a limited printed space, say 5 inches, I want to control (?) the input length to
prevent losing the end of a line too long (like this sentence). My idea is: I set the printed font
size, say Arial 10, and as the user types the statement in a text box, a window/form continuously
displays the line length in inches and warns the user when the line length exceeds 5 inches. I have
done something similar to this using a command button, but that is a type and click method. (Kind
of crude method.)

Is it possible to indicate the length of a typed line (automatically update) as the user enters it
in the text box with no user action other than typing the message? If yes, how do I do it?
Thank you,

It does the job. I appreciate the help. Thanks to both of you.
I truly appreciate this newsgroup. I have received answers to all of my questions, something the
texts that I purchased have not been able to do.
