StringFormatFlags enumeration

StringFormatFlags enumeration

Specifies the display and layout information for text strings.

The StringFormatFlags type exposes the following members:

Fields

FieldDescription
DIRECTION_RIGHT_TO_LEFTText is displayed from right to left.
DIRECTION_VERTICALText is vertically aligned.
FIT_BLACK_BOXParts of characters are allowed to overhang the string’s layout rectangle. By default, characters are repositioned to avoid any overhang.
DISPLAY_FORMAT_CONTROLControl characters such as the left-to-right mark are shown in the output with a representative glyph.
NO_FONT_FALLBACKFallback to alternate fonts for characters not supported in the requested font is disabled. Any missing characters are displayed with the fonts missing glyph, usually an open square.
MEASURE_TRAILING_SPACESIncludes the trailing space at the end of each line. By default the boundary rectangle returned by the MeasureString method excludes the space at the end of each line. Set this flag to include that space in measurement.
NO_WRAPText wrapping between lines when formatting within a rectangle is disabled. This flag is implied when a point is passed instead of a rectangle, or when the specified rectangle has a zero line length.
LINE_LIMITOnly entire lines are laid out in the formatting rectangle. By default layout continues until the end of the text, or until no more lines are visible as a result of clipping, whichever comes first.
Note that the default settings allow the last line to be partially obscured by a formatting rectangle that is not a whole multiple of the line height. To ensure that only whole lines are seen,
specify this value and be careful to provide a formatting rectangle at least as tall as the height of one line.
NO_CLIPOverhanging parts of glyphs, and unwrapped text reaching outside the formatting rectangle are allowed to show. By default all text and glyph parts reaching outside the formatting rectangle are clipped.
