Difference between MText.Height, MText.TextHeight, and MText.ActualHeight?

What's the difference between MText.Height, MText.TextHeight, and MText.ActualHeight? The ObjectARX documentation certainly leaves much to be desired.

MText.Height is the height of the (selected) MTEXT region, i.e. the total height of all the textlines and their separation.
MText.TextHeight is the height of the individual line of text, or matematical:
MText.Height=moreOrLess= nLines*(MText.TextHeight+hSeperation)

And if that's not true then it's the MText.ActualHeight 🙂

You can easilly find out you're self what these properties means by drawing polylines at these metrics.

I would like to use:
myMtext.Width=myMText.ActualWidth;

[SENL1362]

yes, you are absolutely right. It's the best alternative for the bounding box to have the smallest box around text.
I'll use it to calculate the smallest possible table size
