hi all,

how can i determine a size in pixel of a specific string ("hallo") with
a given Font("Arial", 9.0F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)?

thank you

The Graphics.MeasureString is what you are looking for:

using(Graphics g = (new Control()).CreateGraphics())
{
SizeF sz = g.MeasureString("hallo", SpecificFont);
}

Use the MeasureString method of a Graphics object

More importantly, use the search facility for this group:
