Measure text height wrapped in a specified width

Question

How can I calculate the height needed to render a text wrapped in a specified width?

I found the following method in Graphics

graphicsObj.MeasureString(text, font, width);

But it needs an instance of Graphics and at the time I have not graphics instance. In fact I prefer a static method to find the height. TextRenderer.MeasureText(..) could be an option but it lacks a parameter for proposed width.

Answer 1

The overload & flag you need is:

var size = TextRenderer.MeasureText(text, font, new Size(width, height), TextFormatFlags.WordBreak);

For accuracy you should really try to use one of the overloads that accepts a device context.
