Get bounding rectangle of a listbox item

Question

Hi eveyone I can add a String or a ListBoxItem into Listbox. When item of Listbox is a ListBoxItem  I can get rectangle by calling ListBoxItem.PointToScreen(point). But if item of Listbox is a String  how can I get its rectangle? Any help would be appreciated! Kiet.

It would probably be easier to answer this question if I saw what you were trying to do but you can always measure a string using the Graphics class. private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { string val = listBox1.Items[0].ToString(); var g = this .CreateGraphics(); SizeF itemRectangleSize = g.MeasureString(val listBox1.Font); var rectangle = new RectangleF ( new PointF (0 0) itemRectangleSize); }
