The following code does not appear to draw text properly to the bitmap. The text is rendered bold and anything but "clear". Can someone please help? I've searched all over the web for a solution and have not been able to locate one.The Code:
[Code]...
Drawing text on a picbox I notice if the picbox has a border style set then the TextRenderer.DrawText rectangle area needs to be adjusted slightly otherwise text may be drawn very near the picbox borders and the text doesn't look as clean, but I'm not sure what those offsets should be, I hard coded them in, see code under "' area to draw". btw, the code draws the first word of text in bold and then the other words as regular. 'One button, One picture box needed.

I want to use the added functionality (for word wrap etc) of the TextRenderer.DrawText method.... but this does not seem to work correctly on the Graphics object in the PrintPage event in the PrintDocument Object and does not take into consideration any transformations that have been applied. Does anyone have a replacement way or workaround for this?
View 1 RepliesI'm using some code to enable me to render rotated text with the TextRenderer.DrawText method. (By default, DrawText can only copy a straight forward x and y transform from a graphics object).
The code (C#) is from: connect.microsoft.com. See below for a VB conversion.The code takes a graphics object, creates a device context and copies the transform matrix from the graphics object. It works, but I'd like, also, to set the TextRenderingHint, so I tried:
<DllImport("gdiplus.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError:=True, ExactSpelling:=True)> _
Public Shared Function GdipSetTextRenderingHint(ByVal graphics As HandleRef, ByVal textRenderingHint As System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint) As Integer End Function And then after the SetClip statement, I place: GdipSetTextRenderingHint(hDC, someHint) This gives me a memory access violation error, so I think I should be using something other than hDC as the argument.
I can get it to work by creating the device context from the original graphics object, and then creating another graphics object from the device context. I then set the hint on the new graphics object. This seems a bit convoluted so I was wondering if it was possible through interop.

basically i am doing something like:
vb
TextRenderer.DrawText(g, mc_Text, MyBase.Font, New Rectangle(Padding.Left, Padding.Top, MyBase.Width), MyBase.ForeColor, TextFormatFlags.WordBreak)
And want to get an array of lines where the text breaks with since TextFormatFlags.WordBreak has been set

I have a bunch of PNG images in my project's resources. I need to find out whether the pixel at any X,Y is transparent or not. Testing the alpha of the color returned by GetPixel doesn't work, and I can't test it against the transparency key because Bitmap objects only have a MakeTransparent method, for some strange reason. Is there a way to tell?

I want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?
