How find Pixels

Abdul Asif

Hi All,

I am adding a string value to listbox control. I need to set the width of listbox in runtime base on how many pixels string need it to display it within listbox. Idea is to set a width of listbox exactly the number of pixels required by string value. So, I can have perfect width each time base on string value.
Any idea please help.

Thanks,

Asif.

Hi Asif,

You can solve your problem by using following code:

Graphics g = lbTest.CreateGraphics();

Size sz = TextRenderer.MeasureText(g , lbTest.SelectedItem.ToString() , lbTest.Font);

lbTest.Size = new Size(sz.Width, lbTest.Height);

Here lbTest is the name of the ListBox, which width to be set.
