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 creates a FontFamily and draws a string representation of the font family to the screen.

public:
   void ToString_Example( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create a FontFamily object.
      FontFamily^ myFontFamily = gcnew FontFamily( "Arial" );

      // Draw a string representation of myFontFamily to the screen.
      e->Graphics->DrawString( myFontFamily->ToString(), gcnew System::Drawing::Font( myFontFamily,16 ),
            Brushes::Black, PointF(0,0) );
   }

public void ToString_Example(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Create a FontFamily object.
    FontFamily myFontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial");
             
    // Draw a string representation of myFontFamily to the screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawString(
        myFontFamily.ToString(),
        new Font(myFontFamily, 16),
        Brushes.Black,
        new PointF(0, 0));
}

Public Sub ToString_Example(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create a FontFamily object.
    Dim myFontFamily As New FontFamily("Arial")

    ' Draw a string representation of myFontFamily to the screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawString(myFontFamily.ToString(), _
    New Font(myFontFamily, 16), Brushes.Black, New PointF(0, 0))
End Sub
