Measure String inside RichTextBox Control

Question

Can somebody please explain how I would go about measuring the string inside a richtextbox control so that the I can automatically resize the richtextbox control according to its content?

Thank you

Edit:

I've thought about it, and since the below answer won't work if there are different fonts in the RichTextBox Control, what if, I could get the upper-left coords of the richtextbox control and then get the bottom-right coords of the very last line of text inside the rtb. That would essentially give me the Width and Height of the string inside the RichTextBox Control. Is this possible? Or is this a bad idea to do it this way?

Answer 1

Put the following code in the ContentsResized event:

Private Sub rtb_ContentsResized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ContentsResizedEventArgs) Handles txtQuestion.ContentsResized
        Dim h = e.NewRectangle.Height, w = e.NewRectangle.Width
        h = Math.Max(h, sender.Font.Height)
        h = Math.Min(h, Me.ClientSize.Height - 10 - sender.Top)
        h += sender.Height - sender.ClientSize.Height + 1
        sender.Height = h
End Sub
