How do I autosize the TEXT?

[TheGuyInUrCloset]

I have a box that has a predetermined size. Is there anyway I can automatically size the text to make it the largest it can, while still fitting inside the label's size? I cannot auto size the label, the label needs to stay the same size, I just need to resize the text.

Thanks to all that help!

Take a look at the Graphics.Measur eString method. Perhaps you can use it to figure out how big your textbox needs to be.

I was trying that, but it said I was missing an event handler. Which Using directive do I need to add? If I read right it said Paint, but I could not find it. Sorry if this is a really simple answer, this is my first application I am trying to build, so I am brand new to C#.

EDIT: Nevermind. I think I found it.

I suppose that the Label's (that contains the text you wanna resize) name is label1.

System.Drawing.SizeF size = label1.CreateGraphics().MeasureString("the text i wanna measure", label1.Font);

this will return a System.Drawing. SizeF struct object, that has width and height of the text, now check if the width of text is more than label's width

if(size.Width > label1.Size.Width)
{
//...you can reduce the font size here according to the size of text and label's size.
}
