Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Point..::.Point and Size constructors and the System.Drawing..::.ContentAlignment enumeration. To run this example paste this code into a Windows Form that contains a label named Label1 and call the IntializeLabel1 method in the form's constructor.

Visual Basic

Private Sub InitializeLabel1()

    ' Set a border.
    Label1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle

    ' Set the size, constructing a size from two integers.
    Label1.Size = New Size(100, 50)

    ' Set the location, constructing a point from a 32-bit integer
    ' (using hexadecimal).
    Label1.Location = New Point(&H280028)

    ' Set and align the text on the lower-right side of the label.
    Label1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.BottomRight
    Label1.Text = "Bottom Right Alignment"
End Sub

private void InitializeLabel1()
{
    // Set a border.
    Label1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;

    // Set the size, constructing a size from two integers.
    Label1.Size = new Size(100, 50);

    // Set the location, constructing a point from a 32-bit integer
    // (using hexadecimal).
    Label1.Location = new Point(0x280028);

    // Set and align the text on the lower-right side of the label.
    Label1.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.BottomRight;
    Label1.Text = "Bottom Right Alignment";
}

Visual C++

void InitializeLabel1()
{
   // Set a border.
   Label1->BorderStyle = BorderStyle::FixedSingle;

   // Set the size, constructing a size from two integers.
   Label1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 100, 50 );

   // Set the location, constructing a point from a 32-bit integer
   // (using hexadecimal).
   Label1->Location = Point(0x280028);

   // Set and align the text on the lower-right side of the label.
   Label1->TextAlign = ContentAlignment::BottomRight;
   Label1->Text = "Bottom Right Alignment";
}
