Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

  • Creates a text string to draw.

  • Defines the font as Arial (16pt).

  • Creates a solid, black brush to draw with.

  • Creates the coordinates of a point for the upper-left corner at which to draw the text.

  • Sets the format of the string to draw vertically

  • Draws the string to the screen using the font, brush, destination point, and format.

public:
   void DrawStringFloatFormat( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create string to draw.
      String^ drawString = "Sample Text";

      // Create font and brush.

      // Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.
      float x = 150.0F;
      float y = 50.0F;

      // Set format of string.
      StringFormat^ drawFormat = gcnew StringFormat;
      drawFormat->FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags::DirectionVertical;

      // Draw string to screen.
      e->Graphics->DrawString( drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, x, y, drawFormat );
   }

End Sub

Remarks

The text represented by the s parameter is drawn inside the rectangle represented by the layoutRectangle parameter. If the text does not fit inside the rectangle, it is truncated at the nearest word. To further manipulate how the string is drawn inside the rectangle use the DrawString overload that takes a StringFormat.

Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

  • Creates a text string to draw.

  • Defines the font as Arial (16pt).

  • Creates a solid, black brush to draw with.

  • Creates a point for the upper-left corner at which to draw the text.

  • Draws the string to the screen using the font, brush, and destination point.

public:
   void DrawStringPointF( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create string to draw.
      String^ drawString = "Sample Text";

      // Create font and brush.
      System::Drawing::Font^ drawFont = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( "Arial",16 );
      SolidBrush^ drawBrush = gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Black );

      // Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.
      PointF drawPoint = PointF(150.0F,150.0F);

      // Draw string to screen.
      e->Graphics->DrawString( drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, drawPoint );
   }
public void DrawStringPointF(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Create string to draw.
    String drawString = "Sample Text";
             
    // Create font and brush.
    Font drawFont = new Font("Arial", 16);
    SolidBrush drawBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
             
    // Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.
    PointF drawPoint = new PointF(150.0F, 150.0F);
             
    // Draw string to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, drawPoint);
}
Public Sub DrawStringPointF(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create string to draw.
    Dim drawString As [String] = "Sample Text"

    ' Create font and brush.
    Dim drawFont As New Font("Arial", 16)
    Dim drawBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Black)

    ' Create point for upper-left corner of drawing.
    Dim drawPoint As New PointF(150.0F, 150.0F)

    ' Draw string to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, drawPoint)
End Sub
