oWin:GetWidth( <cStr> ) -> <nWidth>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARAMETER:
<cStr> Is the string or char for that the pixel length is
requested
<oFont> Is the font that cStr uses. If <oFont> is not supplied,
::GetWidth() will use the font stored in oFont
DESCRIPTION:
This method allows you to determine the exact length of a string using a
certain Font. This can be useful when you want to know if a string can be
completely written to a window without being 'clipped', or you want to
size a MDI Window to the MDI Parent. ::GetWidth() takes the font information
supplied by <oFont> into account.
