In C++, look at the "GetTextExtent" functions.

For C#, use MeasureString

+2  A: 

For Windows GDI font/display, use DrawText with the DT_CALCRECT flag in the uFormat parameter. It will calculate and return the bounding box for the string you provide using the font currently selected in the HDC.

In MFC, DrawText is a member of the CDC class. See MSDN for details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a6x7y2a4.aspx
