Formatted Width of a Tabbed button

[Ray Horsley]

I'm just trying to find out how wide I have to make the button in order 
to see all the tabs.  Unlike other button styles, a tabbed button shows 
all lines of its contents, but the formattedWidth property only returns 
the width of one line of the contents.  I'd like to get the width of 
all the contents as they're displayed horizontally.

Thanks for your concern.  Let me know if you've got any ideas.
