How to determine the size of AnnTextObject

Hi,
I am using LEADTOOLS version 16 .NET classes.

What i want to do is to use a AnnTextObject to show some result that i can only get by my programme.
How to determine the Bounds property dynamically when i use AnnTextObject to output the result?

Thanks,

Simon

Simon,
If you mean that you want to change the AnnTextObject.Bounds property, you can get the current object being edited using the AnnAutomation.CurrentEditObject Property and check if this is an AnnTextObject. If it is an AnnTextObject, you can change the Bounds of the object.
For more information please check the .NET help file.

Hi Adam,
Thank you for reply.

Sorry for my inaccurate description.
What i want to do is something like this.
============================================
String sResult = [something i got by a caculation (not a fixed length string, even multi-lines)]
//I want to use a AnnTextObject to show it.
AnnTextObject annText = new AnnTextObject();
annText.text = sResult;
annText.Font = new AnnFont("Arial", new AnnLength(10, AnnUnit.Point), FontStyle.Regular);
annText.TextRotate = AnnTextRotate.Rotate0;
//How could i specifiy an appropriate Bounds(width and height) here.So the bounds could JUST FIT the size of my content.
annText.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(100, 100, 100, 100, AnnUnit.Pixel);
annContainer.Objects.Add(text);
============================================
Thanks,
Simon

Or is there some Inner-Relationship between the
System.Drawing.Graphic.MeasureString
and the Size we shold specify here?

Yes, you will need to use System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureString to get the width and height that the string will use based on the font.  As long as you use the same font size and family in both MeasureString and the AnnTextObject, it should be the minimum size for that object. 

Hello Leadtools,

I have the same problem today as mentioned above by [prgrmmr], my question is: What is the alternative of the following code in Leadtools-version-20, to keep fontsize scale to the size of image?

//old code example :
AnnTextObject annText = new AnnTextObject();
annText.text = "Hello";
annText.Font = new AnnFont("Arial", new AnnLength(10, AnnUnit.Point), FontStyle.Regular);
annText.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(100, 100, 100, 100, AnnUnit.Pixel); //<------alternative in version-20 ?
annContainer.Objects.Add(text);


Thanks in advance.
