the height of a string

[ThunderMusic]

Hi,
is there a way to know the height of a string printed in a rectangle? I
mean. I would like to create a rectangle high enough to contain all the
string but I don't want to increase the width so I have to determine the
height the string will have when printed in order to create a high enough
rectangle.

Is there an easy way to know the height of the rectangle I must create in
order to contain all my string?

thanks

I assume you are using wordwrap. The following will give you the height of
the rectangle you need as well as the number of lines where myWidth is the
width of the rectangle (integer) you want and myAlign is the StringFormat you
want to use..

Dim sz As SizeF = gph.MeasureString(s, myFont, myWidth, myAlign)
' sz will be the size of the rectangle needed where the width is myWidth

'Get the number of lines
Dim nlines As Single = (sz.Height) / myFont.Height
