[wxPython-users] text size in statusbar

Hi Oliver,

Does something like:

dc = wx.ClientDC(statusBar)  # or wx.ClientDC(YourFrame)

# Try also:
# dc.SetFont(wx.SystemSettings_GetFont(wx.SYS_DEFAULT_GUI_FONT))

width, height = dc.GetTextExtent(fieldText)
return width

work? Or is the width still too small?

Andrea.
