The following example shows how to set the Trimming property and how to use the StringTrimming enumeration. This example is designed to be used with a Windows Form. Paste this code into a form and call the ShowStringTrimming method when handling the form's Paint event, passing e as PaintEventArgs.
private void ShowStringTrimming(PaintEventArgs e) { StringFormat format1 = new StringFormat(); string quote = "Not everything that can be counted counts," + " and not everything that counts can be counted."; format1.Trimming = StringTrimming.EllipsisWord; e.Graphics.DrawString(quote, this.Font, Brushes.Black, new RectangleF(10.0F, 10.0F, 90.0F, 50.0F), format1); }
