Create Graphics??
-
Hi, I'm doing some string wrapping calculation, and need graphics.MeasureString to calculate the width of each character. One problem is, Graphics does not have constructor. How can I get or create Graphics object, if the wrapping calculation must be inside one class library, not inside a dialog? Thanks so much for your help?

You can use
TextRenderer.MeasureText()method instead.Regards:rose:

yeah, but
TextRenderer.MeasureText()takesIDeviceContextas argument, which he doesn't have.

nope, just glanced :-O:doh: You are right of course. I was wondering why your correct answer got low vote, so I was bit fast in judgment. :rose:

Thanks dnh. I was wondering why it got two without the voting guy telling me what's wrong. When you posted your reply I thought you were the guy and that's your reason -felt little frustrated at first:->, sorry!-. Now I wonder again. See you on the forums.

Thank you for all of your replies. I have tried to use TextRenderer.MeasureText(), it works fine.. But I still prefer using Graphics to Measure, I found that it is more accurate. Because I need to set some scaleing and measure unit in graphics. The method I get the Graphics is, I create a Form, and then use Form.CreateGraphics(), seems a stupid method ^_^, but works finally.
