ev.graphics

[max]

Is there a method in the Graphic to wrap a string into a rectangle?
If so is there a way to specify the width and let a Graphics method
determine how much vertical space is required? I tried using
..MeasureString but get weird numbers for the width and height.
({System.Drawin g.SizeF}
Empty: {System.Drawing .SizeF}
Height: 21.248373
IsEmpty: False
Width: 40.8447266)

The SizeF I used for the layout rect was
Dim layoutSize As New SizeF(500.0F, 0.0F)

Thanks,

Have you had a look at all the overloaded DrawString methods? One does what
you need.

Why are these values weired? We don't know the string you measured.

BTW, there's a specialized group for these questions:
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.drawing

Re: ev.graphics

Try

Dim sz As SizeF = gph.MeasureStri ng(myString, MyFont, Width, MyStringFormat)

'sz will be returned with the height needed based on the string, width, and
alignment you want.
