View 5 RepliesI'm writing a couple of custom controls in VB.Net 3.5, in VS2008, and would like to resize the font size based on the height of the control, and vice-versa. Is there any way of converting a font of say 38.25pts into a me.height, or the other way round?
I realise the font width will change dependent on the font used (which isn't an issue for my purposes), but as far as I know, the font height is usually consistent Accessibility/Large font settings won't be an issue with this application.
How can I accurately measure the size of a portion of text within a label? For example, I'm trying to remove the first character from a fixed-sized label and find out the exact width of just the character I removed. I've tried the MeasureString method but it's not very accurate.

Can I use something DPI independent? Maybe System.Windows.FontSizeConverter?I need to convert to something, that will allow me to switch multiple time between WPF and GDI without changing the "real value". Each division and following multiplication will accumulate errors...

myUniversalFontSize = (double)(myFontSizeConverter.ConvertFrom(
gdiFont.SizeInPoints.ToString() + "pt"))
will transform my gdiFont size in ...? WPF Pixels?How now should I convert back that value to GDI?
gdiFont.SizeInPoints = myUniversalFontSize / 96 * 72???
Can I use in the second example the myFontSizeConverter too?

The reported size is 10. Can someone explain the difference here? My hunch is that VB6 is using a .75 step because my system is configured at 96 DPI, and .NET is not using said step, or not reporting its usage, but I'm not sure.
