I wanted to know how to word-wrap in C# when I came across a very good solution to my problem on word-wrapping text in a line in this URL. Unfortunately, I do not have enough reputations to ask the OP directly about one specific problem I am having(and most likely people dealing with this will be having indefinitely)
Problem Description:
I can word-wrap a string if it needs to be word-wrapped with this code:
Graphics PAddress = e.Graphics;
SizeF PAddressLength = PAddress.MeasureString("Residential Address: " + RAddressTextBox.Text, new Font(fontface, fontsize, FontStyle.Regular),700);
PAddress.DrawString("Residential Address: "+PAddressLength + RAddressTextBox.Text, new Font(fontface, fontsize, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, new RectangleF(new Point(pagemarginX, newline()),PAddressLength),StringFormat.GenericTypographic);
However, I could not find the place to receive a trigger whenever the word-length overflows from a single line.
for example:
In LINE-2 of that code, whenever the wordlength exceeds 700px, it moves to the next line. It does that by following the RectangleF to wordwrap. It is doing so automatically, which is a problem since that makes it difficult to know whether it has crossed 700px or not.
This is the format in which information is displayed whenever I tried to print PAddressLength:
{Width=633.1881, Height=47.14897}
I am thinking that If I can extract the value of width from that using PAddressLength.Width ,then I can partially solve this problem. But with that, I will need to calculate if the remaining space(i.e 700px - 633.1881px ) will accommodate the next word or not(if there is one)
BREAKING DOWN THE PROBLEM:
ADDITIONALLY, (bonus question; may or maynot solve) Is there some way to extract the value 633.1881 and then calculate whether the next word fits in ( 700 - 633.1881 )px space or not?
There is an overload to MeasureString that returns the number of lines used in an out parameter: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/957webty%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
