The System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags enumeration is used by the System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer when drawing and measuring text. The System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer does not support adding tab stops to drawn text, although you can expand existing tab stops using the TextFormatFlags.ExpandTabs flag.
Member Name | Description |
---|---|
Bottom |
Aligns the text on the bottom of the bounding rectangle. Applied only when the text is a single line. |
Default |
Applies the default formatting, which is left-aligned. |
EndEllipsis |
Removes the end of trimmed lines, and replaces them with an ellipsis. |
ExpandTabs |
Expands tab characters. The default number of characters per tab is eight. The TextFormatFlags.WordEllipsis, TextFormatFlags.PathEllipsis, and TextFormatFlags.EndEllipsis values cannot be used with TextFormatFlags.ExpandTabs. |
ExternalLeading |
Includes the font external leading in line height. Typically, external leading is not included in the height of a line of text. |
GlyphOverhangPadding |
Adds padding to the bounding rectangle to accommodate overhanging glyphs. |
HidePrefix |
Applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP only: |
HorizontalCenter |
Centers the text horizontally within the bounding rectangle. |
Internal |
Uses the system font to calculate text metrics. |
Left |
Aligns the text on the left side of the clipping area. |
LeftAndRightPadding |
Adds padding to both sides of the bounding rectangle. |
ModifyString |
Has no effect on the drawn text. |
NoClipping |
Allows the overhanging parts of glyphs and unwrapped text reaching outside the formatting rectangle to show. |
NoFullWidthCharacterBreak |
Applies to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP only: |
NoPadding |
Does not add padding to the bounding rectangle. |
NoPrefix |
Turns off processing of prefix characters. Typically, the ampersand (&) mnemonic-prefix character is interpreted as a directive to underscore the character that follows, and the double-ampersand (&&) mnemonic-prefix characters as a directive to print a single ampersand. By specifying TextFormatFlags.NoPrefix, this processing is turned off. For example, an input string of "A&bc&&d" with TextFormatFlags.NoPrefix applied would result in output of "A&bc&&d". |
PathEllipsis |
Removes the center of trimmed lines and replaces it with an ellipsis. |
PrefixOnly |
Applies to Windows 2000 or Windows XP only: |
PreserveGraphicsClipping |
Preserves the clipping specified by a System.Drawing.Graphics object. Applies only to methods receiving an System.Drawing.IDeviceContext that is a System.Drawing.Graphics. |
PreserveGraphicsTranslateTransform |

Right |
Aligns the text on the right side of the clipping area. |
RightToLeft |
