I am trying to get new line but if I use \n
it does not help any way to have new line by adding something to string like \r\n
(does not work)
gfx.DrawString("Project No \n" + textBoxProjNumber.Text, fontUnder, XBrushes.Black, 230, 95);
does not work.
Have you tried the XTextFormatter class?
See here:
http://www.pdfsharp.net/wiki/TextLayout-sample.ashx
Code snippet:
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
XFont font = new XFont("Times New Roman", 10, XFontStyle.Bold);
XTextFormatter tf = new XTextFormatter(gfx);
XRect rect = new XRect(40, 100, 250, 220);
gfx.DrawRectangle(XBrushes.SeaShell, rect);
tf.DrawString(text, font, XBrushes.Black, rect, XStringFormats.TopLeft);
This is what I did that does not involve using the Rect class:
I had a defined right lateral limit and determined whether the current string would be larger than the set bounds. If it was, I wrote it. Otherwise, I continued adding to it.
foreach (string field in temp)
{
if (field == string.Empty)
{
continue;
}
else
{
tempSB.Clear();
tempSB.Append(sb.ToString());
tempSB.Append(field).Append(", "); //append the incoming value to SB for size testing
if (gfx.MeasureString(tempSB.ToString(), defaultFont).Width > 500) //if the incoming string is bigger than the right bounds, write it and clear SB
{
gfx.DrawString(sb.ToString(), defaultFont, blackBrush, 50, currentLine + defaultSpacing);
currentLine += 15;
sb.Clear();
sb.Append(" " + field).Append(","); //add the overflow to the beginning of the next line
}
else
{
sb.Append(field).Append(", "); //if it is not too big, append it
}
}
}
if (sb.Length > 0 && sb[sb.Length - 1] == ',') sb.Length--;
gfx.DrawString(sb.ToString(), defaultFont, blackBrush, 50, currentLine + defaultSpacing); //write out whatever has not already been written out
I know I'm late to this question but I hope it can help someone.
