DrawString

[Rlrcstr]

Using Graphics.DrawString, is it possible to specify that the text is draw
centerd horizontally and/or vertically in the specified layout rectangle?
Thanks.

Nevermind... Figured it out.

Dim s As New StringFormat

s.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center

s.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center

Hi,

Use the drawstring that accepts a string format.

Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint

Dim sf As New StringFormat

Dim strOut As String = "Hello World"

With sf

..LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center ' center vertically

..Alignment = StringAlignment.Center 'center horizontally

End With

e.Graphics.DrawString(strOut, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, _

RectangleF.op_Implicit(Me.ClientRectangle), sf)

End Sub
