MSFlexGrid - font metrics available for adjusting column widths?

There doesn't appear to be a MSFlexGrid property to automatically adjust a
column width to fit the contents. It seems to take the column width from the
values placed in the fixed row (ala MSFlexGrid.FormatString). There also
doesn't appear to be a property to enable an "auto resize" if the user
double-clicks between column headings.

Is there a slick way (or even an API call or three) to determine the
displayed length of a string given the font name and size so that the column
width can be programmatically adjusted accordingly?

TextHeightWidth.zip is a replacement for the Report object's TextWidth
and TextHeight methods. It is multiline aware and can work in both
Report and Form views. Includes a sample report to show you how to
autosize individual controls with different formatting on the same line
to simulate RTF style text.
