Examples
The following code example demonstrates the following members:
This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Paste the code into a form and call the ShowLineAndAlignment
method when handling the form's Paint event, passing e
as PaintEventArgs.
private:
void ShowLineAndAlignment( PaintEventArgs^ e )
{
// Construct a new Rectangle .
Rectangle displayRectangle = Rectangle(Point(40,40),System::Drawing::Size( 80, 80 ));
// Construct 2 new StringFormat objects
StringFormat^ format1 = gcnew StringFormat( StringFormatFlags::NoClip );
StringFormat^ format2 = gcnew StringFormat( format1 );
// Set the LineAlignment and Alignment properties for
// both StringFormat objects to different values.
format1->LineAlignment = StringAlignment::Near;
format1->Alignment = StringAlignment::Center;
format2->LineAlignment = StringAlignment::Center;
format2->Alignment = StringAlignment::Far;
// Draw the bounding rectangle and a string for each
// StringFormat object.
e->Graphics->DrawRectangle( Pens::Black, displayRectangle );
e->Graphics->DrawString( "Showing Format1", this->Font, Brushes::Red, displayRectangle, format1 );
e->Graphics->DrawString( "Showing Format2", this->Font, Brushes::Red, displayRectangle, format2 );
}
private void ShowLineAndAlignment(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Construct a new Rectangle .
Rectangle displayRectangle =
new Rectangle (new Point(40, 40), new Size (80, 80));
// Construct 2 new StringFormat objects
StringFormat format1 = new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.NoClip);
