> ``string``

> A character-string expression whose width you want to determine.

> ``font``

> An integer expression that specifies an entry within the font table.

> If you pass the Unknown value (`?`) to this method, Progress uses the system default font. When a field-level widget inherits its font from the parent frame, Progress returns the Unknown value (`?`) for the font and you must use the font of the parent frame.
