g.stringWidth() NilObjectException

[Barry Lumpkin <barrylum at bellsouth dot net>]

In PushButton1.Action I have this code:

  dim g as graphics
  dim length as integer
  g.TextFont="Helvetica"
  g.TextSize=18
  length = g.stringWidth("Testing")
  staticText1.text = str(length)

Why do I get a NilObjectException on the g.TextFont line?

I'm so glad there's a beginner area!  ;-)

Thanks!

Barry
