Question about number of columns and lines that fit without scroll bars? #614

I would like to know how many columns and lines that fit within a multi line text box without scroll bars - is this possible?

You can decide how big you want it to be

The dimensions are given by screen size and layout manager and I want to make the width of the data to fit without scroll bars (by deciding what detail data to include etc). I suppose I by trial and error can find out how many columns to deduct from the set width of the text box etc but was curious if some more elegant way existed ....

Seems there is currently no way to determine this other than trial and error. Luckily this is quite easy when we are talking whole character positions.
