Since I have no control over a treeview's scroll bars (i'm drawing icons
and text to the right of the treenodes) I've decided to just add some
special text to the end of my tree node text which I will then strip out
when it comes to drawing the treenode into the treeview...
Anyway I know there is a way to get the pixel length of a string that
already exists, but is there a good way to create a string of characters
that are a certain length? Should I just have a function that loops
adding 'x' until it's a certain length? Since this will only be run
when a node is created or when a node's special properties change I'm
just planning on doing this - unless any of you know of a better solution.
Thanks,
Benny

Some methods used for graphics/drawing automatically wrap text a new line
when given the bounds of the Text as a rectangle. I don't know if this is in
CLI but it is in the managed DirectX libraries, so you should be able to do
this somehow. By the way, you'll need a method to tell you the length of the
String with a specified Font- unless you're using a fixed-width font,
different characters will have different (visual) lengths.
Graphics.Measur eString( string text, Font font )
does the measuring of the string automatically for me... What I wanted
was to create a string that was x length automatically.. . What I ended
up doing was to loop adding a character to my string until MeasureString
returned a value >= the value I wanted. This seems to be working fine.

Hi,
I have 2 div blocks with each div taking up half of the page width. So
in the CSS they both have width: 50%. See
http://home.scarlet.be/~vv991306/leftright.html
In Mozilla Firefox and Opera, depending on the width of the browser
window, sometimes there is a 1 pixel gap between the 2 div blocks. In
Internet Explorer, this is never the case.

hello,
- I have a Bitmap Object named: bmp1
- I already have the numerical values of:red,blue and green colors + I have

How do I set the pixel value via safe code on the bmp1 object?
(the pixel location based on the X & Y values and it's color based on the
red,blue and green values the I already have)

Hi,
I have a datagrid where columns are of some fixed pixel size. If any

Is there a way to find the size of a char in pixel given the font name

width attribute of the returned fSize object does not return value in
pixels. I am including the...

I need to create a Drawing.Bitmap from an array of integer

Hi,
From a C# application am I writing some text in a Word.Table, in a Cell of
the Table to be more precise.
The cell has a certain width and any string written in the cell will cover
one or more lines in the cell depending on its length. In other words, it
will use wordwrapping
Now, I have to determine the amount of lines that the text will take when

This is how I do it now.
1. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle.
2. Set a my font size to a fixed maximum size.
3. Apply the font my string and measure the string using the graphics
object.
4. If string size is less than the size of the rectangle, we are done.
