Hi there,

I'm not quite sure that I understand what you are after. A string
doesn't get *cut*, it contains characters to make a new line, space etc.
these characters are used in visual basic by using constants. What are you
displaying the string in? a text box? a rich text box? Try the following to
add a new line to a string...

Dim mystring as string = "This is a string." & ControlChars.CrLf & "This is
on the next line"

The only reason you actually get new lines, spaces etc is down to the
contol that your putting the string into, in essence a string is simply a
load of values joined together, for ASCII the values are bytes in the range
of 0 to 255. Look up "Print and display constants" in the documentation

Hi Guys,

Kwok wants to do word-wrap of paragraphs stored in a single string.

I'm too tired to explain about (harder method) measuring strings in a
given font that will match the printer, or (easier method) counting characters
and then finding the nearest space or other word-break character.

G'night,
Fergus

Use the version of DrawString that takes a Layout-Rectangle. Example:

Graphics.DrawString(<myString>, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, New RectangleF(0, 0,
150, 500))

Give Nick, Fergus and Herfried a nice item and you got the longest strings

of the world.

LOL
