Name

StringFormatFlags

Synopsis

This enumeration provides a variety of flags that control the way a text string is formatted during rendering and measurement. Most of the flags relate to the relationship between the string and its bounding rectangle, but there are also flags that enable you to specify the text direction (e.g., left-to-right or right-to-left) and whether font-substitution is to be used when a character found in the string does not have a corresponding glyph in the font of choice. These flags should be familiar to people who have previously used the Win32 GDI text-rendering methods.


public enum StringFormatFlags {

   DirectionRightToLeft = 0x00000001,

   DirectionVertical = 0x00000002,

   FitBlackBox = 0x00000004,

   DisplayFormatControl = 0x00000020,

   NoFontFallback = 0x00000400,

   MeasureTrailingSpaces = 0x00000800,

   NoWrap = 0x00001000,

   LineLimit = 0x00002000,

   NoClip = 0x00004000

}
