g.drawstring() string going out of page

I am new to GDI+.I am drawing a string on the Win form
using GDI+. My string content is long and it does not
have any "vbcrlf". The whole string is displayed in a
single line and is getting truncated. Can anyone tell me
how to take the win form bounds and display the long
content on multiple lines.
The same is happening when i am printing the same string.
how do i take the page settings and print the page

Thanks in advance

You can use the 'Graphics' object's 'MeasureString' method to get the
size the string will take on the printer. Then you can adjust the
position where the next line is printed accordingly.

Is there no way, where I can set the page settings of the
page to print and then print the string accordingly on
multiple lines.

Hi,

Try this.
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics

Dim h As Integer

Dim strOut As String

strOut = "This is a really really really long string to print out on the
page."

h = CInt(g.MeasureS tring(strOut, Me.Font, 250).Height)

Dim rdraw As New RectangleF(10, 10, 250, h)

g.DrawString(st rOut, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, rdraw)

I am working on a custom treeView and have some problems with a) node.Bounds.Width b) concatenate strings drawn with DrawString(...) a) I want to highlight a selected node and used the node.Bounds dimensions to draw a rectangle around the node but the node.Bounds.Width property seems to be wrong. Sometimes the rectangle is too large and sometimes it is too small; something like this

I posted this to framework.drawing, but did not get any responses... Maybe here?? I am drawing some text using DrawString() and using a bounding rectangle so that when the string is too long it wraps automatically. I want to decrease the amount of space between the lines. How would I go about changing the LineSpacing? The FontFamily has a read only property. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm trully excited to use VB.NET's PrintDocument to make my printouts. On them I draw strings, images and lines. All perfect, if I invoke the Print or the PrintPreview one time per run. At second time I onvoke print or preview, the DrawLine or DrawImage go well, but the first DrawString the program tries to execute pops an exception: ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentException: Invalid parameter used.

I would like to add text to an image. I have tried to use DrawString and it works on some images but on others it is very very small. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the size of the image but I have had varying results on multiple images. Is there anyway to make the text a fixed size on the image. Similar to putting a date on a photograph.

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
