public static void DrawText (System.Drawing.Graphics graphics, System.Drawing.Font font, string text, System.Drawing.Rectangle boundingRect, System.Drawing.StringAlignment alignment, System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.TextQuality textQuality, System.Drawing.Brush textBrush);
static member DrawText : System.Drawing.Graphics * System.Drawing.Font * string * System.Drawing.Rectangle * System.Drawing.StringAlignment * System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.TextQuality * System.Drawing.Brush -> unit
Public Shared Sub DrawText (graphics As Graphics, font As Font, text As String, boundingRect As Rectangle, alignment As StringAlignment, textQuality As TextQuality, textBrush As Brush)
Parameters
- text
- String
The text to draw.
- alignment
- StringAlignment
The StringAlignment that specifies where the text is aligned in the bounding rectangle.
- textQuality
- TextQuality
The TextQuality that specifies the quality setting to draw the text.
Exceptions
graphics
, font
, text
, or textBrush
contains a null reference (Nothing
in Visual Basic).
Examples
The following example demonstrates a way to use the ActivityDesignerPaint class to draw a custom activity on the workflow design surface. A rounded rectangle is first drawn using the DrawRoundedRectangle method. Text is then drawn using DrawText and is placed at the location of the TextRectangle of the ActivityDesigner. Additionally, the Image associated with the ActivityDesigner is drawn using the DrawImage method of the ActivityDesignerPaint class. Finally, an expand button used by a CompositeActivity is drawn using the DrawExpandButton.
