Hi all
I am using the following code to draw strings onto a Form:
----------------------------
Dim tabGraphics As System.Drawing. Graphics = Me.CreateGraphi cs()
Dim labelFont As New Font("Verdana", 12, FontStyle.Regul ar, GraphicsUnit.Pi xel)
Dim solidBrush As New SolidBrush(Colo r.DarkSlateBlue )
---------------------------
My question is, Is there a way that I can align the string that I am drawing to the right? When I draw the string it obviously writes it onto the form, but the strings are variable lengths and I want to align them to the right as if they were in a Label control with the TextAlign set to MiddleRight.
Also, is there a way that I can get a control on the form by using it's name? I know that I have a control named "tabMain" which is a tab control, can I get the object so I can add to the controls collection? I would like something like:
Dim c as Control = "tabMain"
c.Controls.Add( myControl)
Thanks for any help,
Kind regards,
Steve.

Hi,
Use one of the drawstring methods with a string format. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ringtopic4.asp

Hi Ken
Thanks very much for that!! Very useful :o)
Do you know how I can accomplish the 2nd task at all please?? I need to add controls to a control. I have the name of the control, but I'd prefer not to have to loop through all of the controls on the form and in each sub-control if possible.
Thanks.
Regards,
Steve.

As a simple example suppose I want to draw two columns of strings.
I know where each column starts and the widths.
So before I print a string I measure it and if it is longer than the column
width I remove a character at the end and measure it again. I repeat this
until the string is not longer than the desired width.
I'm drawing the strings on panel and wonder if there is a faster way.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
