Calculate needed cell width to fit some text [message #25168]

I need to setup cell widths to fit some text; with HeaderCtrl().Absolute() I can set absoulte cell widths, but I can't manage to get pixel width of a given text.
trying with

StdFont().GetAveWidth() * myString.GetCount()

gives me a by far too big value for character width.

Any hint ?

Another stuff... I have a DropGrid containing images, embedded into an ArrayCtrl. I also need to set the cell width to fit the image, but doing with Image.GetSize().cx misses the width needed for the drop arrow.... By now I do it adding a fixed value, but I'm afraid that it'll behave bad changing platform.

Ciao
