Number of characters in textbox line

Aditi Chimbalkar

Hi,

I am using richtextbox for an application. I am working with c#.

Is there a way to find how many characters can fit in a textbox
line?

One way that I had thought was -
richtextbox1.Size.Width/richtextbox1.Font.Size;
But this does not seem to work. Please help me out.

Thanks and Regards,
Aditi.

If you're using a monospace font like Courier New you can use the method you
suggest to get a very rough idea but if the font is proportional you're out
of luck.

Also remember that font size is a measure of the height of the EM square,
not the width of the letters.
