I'm trying to calculate the bounding box for a string. Whenever the string contains asian script (Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana in this case), the calculated rectangle is not wide enough to contain the rendered text.
Is there a trick I should know to make this work? 
I'm building my application with UNICODE support.
Nevermind me. I'm an idiot.

If you don't mind, could you share your idiocy? I'm working on a multilingual app that includes support for Japanese, and if you came across something interesting, I'd like to know. Thanks!

There was nothing to it really. I'm laying out a series of texts, in my own combobox implementation (since the system supplied one doesn't allow for easy tweaking). In "automatic mode", I have it resize the width dynamically according to the longest entry. What I did wrong was that for each string S in the list, I always measured the first string.

I bet $10US that you had the wrong font selected into the DC. ? But yes, please share what was going wrong.

Heh, no. That was the first thing I checked, because I've been burnt by that one before. 
See reply to Gary if you're really interested in how stupid I can be.

I've heard two set of stories each saying the opposite. Which one is true?
If it turns out that both versions can be on the same machine, what's the installation procedure like?
Thanks for any insight into this matter.

There's no conflict between VC6, VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003. Not in my experience anyway.
The installation procedure is nothing special, just the ordinary next, next, next, tweak options, next, finish. Although, I did install the newer versions before VC6, so I can't speak of what happens if you install the newer versions after VC6.

I installed 2002 after VC6, no problems at all.

Thanks for replying!
The reason I was told of the incompatibility of both versions, was that the version being installed would overwrite (or partially overwrite) some folders of the previously existing version, which you'll not find out until later when you run certain applications that were created under the previous version.
Because I have hundreds of applications developed under VC6, I would hate to fine out that some of them may experience certain anomalies due to the concurrency of a second version.

Generally speaking, it's OK but there may well be some obscure problems. At the place I left a while back I was told that merely having VC++ 7.1 installed broke their existing VC6 app. However, their app. was very complicated - involvong VC6, COM/ATL, VB, Tuxedo, etc.

I've had side-by-side installations of VC6, VS.NET 2002, and VS.NET 2003 on several machines. They coexist nicely, and don't interfere with one another. I've not heard anything one way or another about VS.NET 2005 (the beta).
The only thing to be careful of is that they will upgrade their predecessor's project files if you're not careful, and the upgrade is one way (although there are converters out there, at least to revert from .NET 2003 back to 2002).

Thanks for replying.
Does the upgrade to those project files occur only when you activate those particular applications, or does it happen as part of the installation process (that it upgrades ALL such files)?
Perhaps that's what those people were talking about when they mentioned about files getting written over.

The update only occurs when you open the project into the new compiler. It does ask you if you want to update the files however.

VS.NET 2005 is much smarter than the previous IDEs regarding "conversions". When you double click a solution, it will launch a "version selector". So based on the contents of the solution file, it will start the correct IDE. Very nice feature indeed. It also shows the version number of the IDE used to create the solution file, in the icon label.
I think that happened in Beta 2. Someone in the VS.NET department should get a raise.

It's the comparison routine that qsort() will call several times during the sort, passing pointers to two array elements on each call.
