How do I set a TextBox width acorrding to a string?

[Udi]

Hi,
I have a simple multiline TextBox which I need to set its width
according to the longest line in Lines.
I assume I need to calculate the font width, how do I do that?
Thanks!

There is a method on the graphics object Graphics.MeasureString this will
tell you the height and width of the text.
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/measurestring.asp includes a simple
version using MeasureString and offers an alternative methodology.

Just a quick note.
..NET 2.0 has TextRenderer class that provides more accurate measuring of a
text.
