What I need is some formula to calculate font size of TextBlock for its owner - Let's say I have Canvas height 100.0 then which TextBlock font size should be to fill all space of the Canvas?
P.S. The main problem is that I scroll those TextBlocks horizontally...
I'd like to know if it's possible to have a Label/TextBlock that has two or more different font-sizes/styles/weights within the same label/block.
Something like this:
This is an example of a string.
I use some code to successfully resize and save images - but I want to save the image to 800x800 px size on a canvas of 900x900px so it has a white border type thing around it.

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.
I have the Context Menu Options like ( Small Font , Large Font ) based on the selection I want to change the size of the Font in the Controls,Control's Size & location(x,y,height,width). The resize of the controls should not affect the look and feel of the forms.

Both these methods work fine. However they take lot of time to calculate the directory size if there are lot of sub-folders. e.g i have a directory with 150,000 sub-folders.
