How to find the width and height of the text with specified font ?

How to find the width and height of the text with specified font :

LOGFONT logFont... which holds information about the selected font...
HFONT hFont = CreateFontIndirect(&logfont);

SelectObject(graphics->GetHdc(),(HGDIOBJ)hFont);
GetTextExtentPoint32 () ... returns the width and height of the text
we can get width here...

we may get Height From the following :

TextMetrics tm;
GetTextMetrics(&tm);
tm.Height - Height of the text....


The GetTextExtentPoint32 function computes the width and height of the specified string of text. the GetTextExtentPoint32 function initializes the members of a SIZE structure with the length and height of the specified string. The GetTextMetrics function retrieves the overhang for the current font. Because the overhang is zero if the font is a TrueType font, the overhang value does not change the string placement. For raster fonts, however, it is important to use the overhang value.
