How to: Align Drawn Text
When you perform custom drawing, you may often want to center drawn text on a form or control. You can easily align text drawn with the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A or xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A methods by creating the correct formatting object and setting the appropriate format flags.
To draw centered text with GDI+ (DrawString)
-
Use a xref:System.Drawing.StringFormat with the appropriate xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A method to specify centered text.
