Graphics.Measur eString throws System.NotSuppo rtedException

Hi all,

I can't determine why I keep
getting "NotSupportedEx ception" when g.MeasureString () is
called in the following code (.NET CE). I have spent
several hours but I cant seem to find the solution. I
would really appreciate it if someone could look at the
code below.

Label l = new Label();
Graphics g = l.CreateGraphic s();
Font f = new Font("Tahoma", 9, FontStyle.Regul ar);
Size s = new Size((int)g.Mea sureString("thi s is just a
text", f).Width, (int)g.MeasureS tring("this is just a
text", f).Height);

Thanks,
Meetali.

Hi, I made a procedure which receives a Graphics parameter, and with that Graphics parameter, performs various things. The area of confusion here is that when I pass the procedure a Graphics object created by a Panel, and use the MeasureString() method, I get a different width than when I pass up the procedure a Graphics object created by a PrintDocument. The procedure is exactly the same, independent of which object called it, so why...

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.Drawing.SizeF} Empty: {System.Drawing.SizeF} Height: 21.248373 IsEmpty: False Width: 40.8447266)

Hi, I hope you guys can help me make this simple application work. I'm trying to create a form displaying 3 circles, which independently change colors 3 times after a random time period has passed.

Below is my form and my Circle class. Currently,...

Howdy Folks I have a display where the Graphics.DrawString function is called to display something. Since the text seems to be larger than its bounding rectangle, the call basically splits the string into multiple lines. Is there a way to find out into how many lines the string was split? I am asking because this string is being displayed inside an owner

I'm having trouble using MeasureCharacterRanges. If I use it to get the width of the string "TEST" I would expect to get the same width as I would if I used it to get the individual widths of the characters "T", "E", "S", and "T" and then added the resulting values together. The problem is that the two values don't seem to match unless the Graphics.PageUnit is set to Inch. I don't understand why it doesn't work with the default setting of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
