Public Shared Function GetGlyphSize (g As Graphics, state As CheckBoxState) As Size

Parameters

g: Graphics

The Graphics this operation will use.

state: CheckBoxState

One of the CheckBoxState values that specifies the visual state of the check box.

Returns

Size

A Size that represents the size of the check box glyph.

Examples

The following code example uses the GetGlyphSize method to determine the bounds of the check box text. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CheckBoxRenderer class.

// Calculate the text bounds, exluding the check box.
Rectangle getTextRectangle()
{
    Graphics ^g = this->CreateGraphics();
    textRectangleValue.X = ClientRectangle.X +
                CheckBoxRenderer::GetGlyphSize(g,
                CheckBoxState::UncheckedNormal).Width;
    textRectangleValue.Y = ClientRectangle.Y;
    textRectangleValue.Width = ClientRectangle.Width -
                CheckBoxRenderer::GetGlyphSize(g,
                CheckBoxState::UncheckedNormal).Width;
    textRectangleValue.Height = ClientRectangle.Height;

    delete g;
    return textRectangleValue;
}

// Calculate the text bounds, exluding the check box.
public Rectangle TextRectangle
{
    get
    {
        using (Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics())
        {
            textRectangleValue.X = ClientRectangle.X +
                CheckBoxRenderer.GetGlyphSize(g,
                CheckBoxState.UncheckedNormal).Width;
            textRectangleValue.Y = ClientRectangle.Y;
            textRectangleValue.Width = ClientRectangle.Width -
                CheckBoxRenderer.GetGlyphSize(g,
                CheckBoxState.UncheckedNormal).Width;
            textRectangleValue.Height = ClientRectangle.Height;
        }

        return textRectangleValue;
    }
}

' Calculate the text bounds, exluding the check box.
Public ReadOnly Property TextRectangle() As Rectangle
    Get
        Using g As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
            With textRectangleValue
                .X = Me.ClientRectangle.X + _
                    CheckBoxRenderer.GetGlyphSize(g, _
                    CheckBoxState.UncheckedNormal).Width
                .Y = Me.ClientRectangle.Y
                .Width = Me.ClientRectangle.Width - _
                    CheckBoxRenderer.GetGlyphSize(g, _
                    CheckBoxState.UncheckedNormal).Width
                .Height = Me.ClientRectangle.Height
            End With
        End Using
        Return textRectangleValue
    End Get
End Property

Remarks

The size of the check box glyph is determined by the current visual style of the operating system.
