The following example creates a
StringFormat object, sets the string's trimming style, and then gets the trimming style and stores it in a variable. The code then creates a second
StringFormat object and uses the stored trimming style to set the trimming style of the second
StringFormat object. Next, the code uses the second
StringFormat object to draw a formatted string. The code also draws the string's layout rectangle.
C++
VOID Example_GetTrimming(HDC hdc)
{
Graphics graphics(hdc);
SolidBrush solidBrush(Color(255, 255, 0, 0));
FontFamily fontFamily(L"Times New Roman");
Font font(&fontFamily, 24, FontStyleRegular, UnitPixel);
// Create a StringFormat object, and set its trimming style.
StringFormat stringFormat;
stringFormat.SetTrimming(StringTrimmingWord);
// Get the trimming setting from the StringFormat object.
StringTrimming stringTrimming = stringFormat.GetTrimming();
// Create a second StringFormat object with the same trimming style.
StringFormat stringFormat2;
stringFormat2.SetTrimming(stringTrimming);
// Use the second StringFormat object in a call to DrawString.
graphics.DrawString(
L"One two three four five six seven eight nine ten",
