Parameters

graphics

Graphics object to use for text measurements.

baseFont

Base font. This is typically the font of the control. This doesn't have to take into account the font settings on the default appearance.

defaultAppearance

Default appearance. This is the appearance of parent element that will be hosting the formatted text element since appearances are inherited.

widthConstraint

The width constraint. Value of 0 means no width constraint. Note that the returned size can be bigger than the width constraint if formatted text value is as such that it requires larger area than the width constraint. For example, an image in formatted text could constraint the required minimum width necessary to display the formatted text.

gdiDrawStringFlags

GDI draw flags.

Return Value

Returns the calculated size.
