Examples
The following example shows how to set the Trimming property and how to use the StringTrimming enumeration. This example is designed to be used with a Windows Form. Paste this code into a form and call the ShowStringTrimming method when handling the form's Paint event, passing e as PaintEventArgs.
private:
void ShowStringTrimming( PaintEventArgs^ e )
{
StringFormat^ format1 = gcnew StringFormat;
String^ quote = "Not everything that can be counted counts,"
" and not everything that counts can be counted.";
format1->Trimming = StringTrimming::EllipsisWord;
e->Graphics->DrawString( quote, this->Font, Brushes::Black, RectangleF(10.0F,10.0F,90.0F,50.0F), format1 );
}
private void ShowStringTrimming(PaintEventArgs e)
{
StringFormat format1 = new StringFormat();
string quote = "Not everything that can be counted counts," +
" and not everything that counts can be counted.";
format1.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisWord;
e.Graphics.DrawString(quote, this.Font, Brushes.Black,
new RectangleF(10.0F, 10.0F, 90.0F, 50.0F), format1);
}
Private Sub ShowStringTrimming(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
Dim format1 As New StringFormat
Dim quote As String = "Not everything that can be counted counts," & _
" and not everything that counts can be counted."
format1.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisWord
e.Graphics.DrawString(quote, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, _
New RectangleF(10.0F, 10.0F, 90.0F, 50.0F), format1)
End Sub
