Thanx for the great article.
I'm trying to use it for calculating the TextBox.SelecionStart known a Drawing.Point into the text box client area. I must iterate all substrings starting from len 1 to Lenght and see if the size is outer than the point.
Is there a better way using a simple api to do this ?

Thanx for any response or suggestion.

This code contains a leak. You should be calling DeleteObject passing the hFont you're creating, after you have selected it back out of the DC.

Thanks a lot for the solution.

I've created the following overload which accepts a font object instead of a control which was necessary in my situation:

static public Size MeasureString(Graphics gr, Font font, string text, Rectangle rect)
{
Size result = Size.Empty;
IntPtr controlFont = font.ToHfont();
IntPtr hDC = gr.GetHdc();
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(hDC))
{
IntPtr originalObject = SelectObject(hDC, controlFont);
result = MeasureString(g, text, rect, false);
SelectObject(hDC, originalObject); //Release resources
}
gr.ReleaseHdc(hDC);
return result;
}

Cheers mate, nice one!

Wanted to thank you a lot! This little post solved a problem I had been wrestling with for a couple of days!

Because of it, I now have a custom list control that has items that vary in size based on the post text.

You don't know how much time you saved me! I wish I would have found it a lot sooner.

Thanks!

Great Work, Thanks a lot!
