How find Pixels

Question

Hi All I am adding a string value to listbox control. I need to set the width of listbox in runtime base on how many pixels string need it to display it within listbox. Idea is to set a width of listbox exactly the number of pixels required by string value. So I can have perfect width each time base on string value. Any idea please help. Thanks Asif.

Hi Asif You can solve your problem by using following code: Graphics g = lbTest.CreateGraphics(); Size sz = TextRenderer .MeasureText(g  lbTest.SelectedItem.ToString()  lbTest.Font); lbTest.Size = new Size (sz.Width lbTest.Height); Here lbTest is the name of the ListBox which width to be set.
