I need to print out a string of text and obviously i'm using the
DrawString command.
But the string must be placed AFTER some "programmatical ly generated
text" (also printed using DrawString). That text would range from a
single line, to maybe up to 10 lines. So i cannot hard code the
position for the Drawstring command... it must come AFTER the generated
text, where ever that might be.
Is there any way to determine the position (x,y) of the end of the auto
generated text? I could then take that value and then add a little bit
to it.
I'm totally stumped with this and would appreciate some help or
direction.
Thanks,
John

Use the MeasureString method of the Graphics object to obtain the rectangle
that contains the size of the text. Add this to the x and y positions you
passed to the DrawString of the original text and voila, the ending x and y
positions you want :)
HTH,

Thanks! I got it to work. The MeasureString method actually returns a
PointF, not a rectangle. But from that i can get the "height" which is
what i need. :)

Hmm, .Net 2005 ... MeasureString returns a PointF? PointF contains Height?
Hmm, I thought a PointF was a floating point version of a Point structure
which contains 2 members, X and Y (hence, Point...since a single point in
space has no physical dimensions, just a location [x and y]).
Mythran
Oops, my bad! It returns a SizeF, which from that you can get the
width and height properties. Not PointF, sorry!

Aye, makes sense :) I could have checked it out myself and would probably
wouldn't have needed this discussion. The funny thing is, I was using
MeasureString extensively the other day, and it slipped my mind lol
Glad it works for ya :)

My problem is that I want to draw the text on top of some label controls.
Is there a way to do this using the Graphics DrawString method? Is there a
way to do this using another method?

I have a display where the Graphics.DrawString function is called to

bounding rectangle, the call basically splits the string into multiple

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

Hi,
Im writing a C# .Net application to print in zebra 2030 thermal receipt printer (Uses 80 mm wide paper). I'm using the windows Graphics object for printing. string text = "Line1\n Line2\n\n\n\n";

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.
