I am using GDI+ to generate buttons in my application. Because I want the
left and right edges of the buttons to be a certain number of pixels from
the start and end of the text, I need to know (or be able to calculate) the
left and rightmost pixels of the text. However, this is a problem because
not all letters have their leftmost pixel at the same X position. For
example, when using the following font:
Dim buttonfont As New Font("Arial", 19, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Po int)
and using the following lines to draw text:
For i As Integer = 65 To 90
testgraphics.Dr awString(Chr(i) , buttonfont, Brushes.White, 0, 35 + (i - 64)
* 20)
Next
The characters 'A' and 'J' start 2 pixels farther to the left than most
other characters (there are also a couple other characters that are offset
by 1 or 2 pixels). Is there any easy way to determine what X position the
first and last pixel of a character is at? Because this depends on the font,
the only way to do it manually would be to test each pixel. Is there a
method that can be used to do this? Thanks.

If this is an offline process, testing each column of pixels should be
enough.
You could also try http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ntext_52at.asp
and in particular the GLYPHMETRICS structure that should allow to get the
"box" in which the character is drawn...

Hello,
Suppose I want to highlight a piece of text. I get the x & y
co-ordinates on the screen. And using dhtml I am able to highlight the
text. Then I try on another machine with different resolution. I am
unable to get the relative position on the screen. Can anyone guide me
how to find the relative position on different screen resolutions?
Suppose i get the position on 1024 X 768. What would be that position
on 800 X 600 or 640 X 480?

Hello,
I want to draw a simple pixel (i.e. a red pixel in the center of the
screen), which is always in the foreground - even when running a fullscreen
application like a DirectX game.
I need this as an easy entry for programming later a HUD, which shows
several informations, like date, time, company logo, etc.
Any help or just a simple code example would be appreciated.

i am reading thru a book on digitizing text lines using c code.They

Now the digitized line stored in bitImage is taken 1 character at a

Hi,

How can I paint 1 pixel?
I guess I can make a Bitmap, change one pixel color and show it, but

Please help,
