Help with e.Graphics.DrawString

[DazedAndConfused]

Is there a way to find the coordinates of x after using Graphics.DrawString?

i.e.
e.Graphics.DrawString("My Report", reportFont, reportBrush, x, y)

x = the coordinates position of "t" in "My Report"

Is there a way to convert Tab position to x?

i.e.

x = Tab(25)

You need to use the e.Graphics.MeasureString(....) to get how long the
string will be. Then add x to the width returned by measure string.

Hope it helps
