Measure Method

Measure()

Measures the width and height of the control content.

Declaration

public Size Measure()

Public Function Measure() As Size

Returns

Type	Description
Size	Size object that represents the size of the content, in pixels.

Examples

The code below scans all the rows in a C1FlexGrid and calculates the width needed to display the cell with the widest content:

int GetMaximumCellWidth(int col)
{
  // maximum width is unknown
  int maxWidth = -1;

  // scan all rows to find the widest content
  for (int row = 0; row < _flex.Rows.Count; row++)
  {
    // get cell content
    string text = _flex.GetDataDisplay(row, col);

    // check that the cell contains html
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(text) &&
         text.StartsWith("<html>"))
    {
      // measure width needed to render the Html
      _superLabel.Text = text;
      int width = _superLabel.Measure().Width;

      // save maximum width
      if (width > maxWidth)
        maxWidth = width;
  }
  return maxWidth;
}

Measure(Graphics)

Returns

Type	Description
Size	Size object that represents the size of the content, in pixels.

Examples

The code below scans all the columns in a C1FlexGrid and calculates the height needed to display the cell with the tallest content:

int GetMaximumCellHeight(int row)
{
  // maximum height is unknown
  int maxHeight = -1;

  // scan all columns to find the tallest content
  for (int col = 0; col < _flex.Cols.Count; col++)
  {
    // get cell content
    string text = _flex.GetDataDisplay(row, col);

    // check that the cell contains html
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(text) &&
         text.StartsWith("<html>"))
    {
      // measure height needed to render the Html
      _superLabel.Text = text;
      int width = _flex.Cols[col].WidthDisplay;
      int height = _superLabel.Measure(width).Height;

      // save maximum height
      if (height > maxHeight)
        maxHeight = height;
  }
  return maxHeight;
}

Measure(Graphics, int)
