TextRenderer doesn't draw a long string

Question

Look at this sample:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private static string myString = null;

    private const int MAX_TEXT = 5460;

    public Form1()
          


        

Answer 1

I think you hit the limitation of the TextRenderer class, which I think is calling the DrawTextEx API function under the hood. If you try to put your builder.ToString() results into a TextBox, it won't show up either.

If for some reason you need to print a string that long, you would have to revert back to the DrawString method:

e.Graphics.DrawString(myString, this.Font, Brushes.Black, new Point(10, 30));
