Textbox minimum height and width

[Chuck Bowling]

I'm trying to figure out how I can get the minumum height required for a
textbox containing a string in a given font with a set width and also the
converse, the minimum required width of a textbox with a set height.

I want a textbox that is resized to fit the text inside with either the
height or width locked. Anybody have a suggestion on how I might go about
doing that?

Hello,
Well, I know that how to find string width/height when width is
locked. You can use Graphics.MeasureString(string,Font,int) method. It
takes the string, Font and Maximum width of the string. It returns SizeF
structure. You can convert it to Size structure using it's .ToSize()
method.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this doesn't take into account the
word wrap feature of the TextBox control. It would be relatively easy to
find text height if I knew how many lines are wrapped in the control.
