<summary>Provides methods used to measure and render text. This class cannot be inherited.</summary>
<remarks>
<format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[
## Remarks
The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class provides a set of `static` methods that can be used for measuring and drawing text on a Windows Form control.
You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> overloads that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For example, the default behavior of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%2A> that take a <xref:System.Drawing.Size> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For an example, see <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%28System.Drawing.IDeviceContext%2CSystem.String%2CSystem.Drawing.Font%2CSystem.Drawing.Size%2CSystem.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags%29>.
> [!NOTE]
> The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> are not supported for printing. You should always use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText1` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.

## Remarks
You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> overloads that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter.
If `font` is `null` or `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty?displayProperty=nameWithType>, the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
> [!NOTE]
> The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Point> as the upper-left corner of the drawn text do not render correctly on Windows 2000. If your application is intended for use on machines running Windows 2000, you should use one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle> for the bounds of the drawn text.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText1` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.

## Remarks
If `font` or `forecolor` is `null` or <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty?displayProperty=nameWithType>, respectively; the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
This method will result in text that is horizontally and vertically centered in the rectangle specified by the `bounds` parameter. To change how the text is drawn, use a version of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter type.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText2` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.

## Remarks
The `backColor` parameter is applied to the rectangular area containing the drawn text. If `font`, `backcolor` or `forecolor` is `null` or <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty?displayProperty=nameWithType>, respectively; the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> overloads that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
> [!NOTE]
> The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Point> as the upper-left corner of the drawn text do not render correctly on Windows 2000. If your application is intended for use on machines running Windows 2000, you should use one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle> for the bounds of the drawn text.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText3` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.

## Remarks
You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> overloads that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For example, the default behavior of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%2A> that take a <xref:System.Drawing.Size> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For an example, see <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%28System.Drawing.IDeviceContext%2CSystem.String%2CSystem.Drawing.Font%2CSystem.Drawing.Size%2CSystem.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags%29>.
The `backColor` parameter is applied to the area within the `bounds` parameter. If `font` or `forecolor` is `null` or <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty?displayProperty=nameWithType>, respectively; the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> does not support adding tab stops to drawn text, although you can expand existing tab stops using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags.ExpandTabs> flag.
> [!NOTE]
> The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Point> as the upper-left corner of the drawn text do not render correctly on Windows 2000. If your application is intended for use on machines running Windows 2000, you should use one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle> for the bounds of the drawn text.

## Remarks
The `backColor` parameter is applied to the area within the `bounds` parameter. If `font`, `backcolor` or `forecolor` is `null` or <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty>, respectively; the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
This method will result in text that is horizontally and vertically centered in the rectangle specified by the `bounds` parameter. To change how the text is drawn, use a version of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter type.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText4` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.

## Remarks
If `font` or `color` is `null` or <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty>, respectively; the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> overloads that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For example, the default behavior of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%2A> that take a <xref:System.Drawing.Size> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For an example, see <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%28System.Drawing.IDeviceContext%2CSystem.String%2CSystem.Drawing.Font%2CSystem.Drawing.Size%2CSystem.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags%29>.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> does not support adding tab stops to drawn text, although you can expand existing tab stops using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags.ExpandTabs> flag.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText6` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.

## Remarks
The `backcolor` parameter is applied the rectangular area containing the drawn text. If `font` or `forecolor` is `null` or <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Empty>, respectively; the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method will draw the text in the font or color currently selected in the device context specified by `dc`. If `forecolor` is <xref:System.Drawing.Color.Transparent%2A>, the text will not be drawn.
You can manipulate how the text is drawn by using one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> overloads that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For example, the default behavior of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> is to add padding to the bounding rectangle of the drawn text to accommodate overhanging glyphs. If you need to draw a line of text without these extra spaces you should use the versions of <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%2A> that take a <xref:System.Drawing.Size> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags> parameter. For an example, see <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.MeasureText%28System.Drawing.IDeviceContext%2CSystem.String%2CSystem.Drawing.Font%2CSystem.Drawing.Size%2CSystem.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags%29>.
The text rendering offered by the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> class is based on GDI text rendering and is not supported for printing from Windows Forms. Instead, use the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A> methods of the <xref:System.Drawing.Graphics> class.
The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer> does not support adding tab stops to drawn text, although you can expand existing tab stops using the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags.ExpandTabs> flag.
> [!NOTE]
> The <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Point> as the upper-left corner of the drawn text do not render correctly on Windows 2000. If your application is intended for use on machines running Windows 2000, you should use one of the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> methods that specify a <xref:System.Drawing.Rectangle> for the bounds of the drawn text.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer.DrawText%2A> method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call `RenderText7` from the form's <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint> event handler, passing `e` as <xref:System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs>.
