Draw text and make it fit inside a rectangle in GDI?

Question

Is there's a function that can draw text and fit it inside a rectangle (the function will make the size of the text smaller as appropriate to make it fit or something).

I checked the parameters for DrawText() but I don't think it supports such a feature.

Answer 1

Maybe you can use GetTextMetrics to check if the text fits inside the rectangle, and if it doesn't, reduce the current font size and repeat the measurement.

GetTextMetrics:
