How to justify text in a label

问题


I have a label that displays on more than a line and I would like to justify the text in it (align left and right). What is the best way to achieve that?


回答1:


This is an implementation of the solution proposed by TaW. It is just the base code for the implementation - no automatic re-adjustments, etc.

public void Justify(System.Windows.Forms.Label label)
{
    string text = label.Text;
    string[] lines = text.Split(new[]{"\r\n"}, StringSplitOptions.None).Select(l => l.Trim()).ToArray();

    List<string> result = new List<string>();

    foreach (string line in lines)
    {
        result.Add(StretchToWidth(line, label));
    }

    label.Text = string.Join("\r\n", result);
}

private string StretchToWidth(string text, Label label)
{
    if (text.Length < 2)
        return text;

    // A hair space is the smallest possible non-visible character we can insert
    const char hairspace = '\u200A';

    // If we measure just the width of the space we might get too much because of added paddings so we have to do it a bit differently
    double basewidth = TextRenderer.MeasureText(text, label.Font).Width;
    double doublewidth = TextRenderer.MeasureText(text + text, label.Font).Width;
    double doublewidthplusspace = TextRenderer.MeasureText(text + hairspace + text, label.Font).Width;
    double spacewidth = doublewidthplusspace - doublewidth;

    //The space we have to fill up with spaces is whatever is left
    double leftoverspace = label.Width - basewidth;

    //Calculate the amount of spaces we need to insert
    int approximateInserts = Math.Max(0, (int)Math.Floor(leftoverspace / spacewidth));

    //Insert spaces
    return InsertFillerChar(hairspace, text, approximateInserts);
}

private static string InsertFillerChar(char filler, string text, int inserts)
{
    string result = "";
    int inserted = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
    {
        //Add one character of the original text
        result += text[i];

        //Only add spaces between characters, not at the end
        if (i >= text.Length - 1) continue;

        //Determine how many characters should have been inserted so far
        int shouldbeinserted = (int)(inserts * (i+1) / (text.Length - 1.0));
        int insertnow = shouldbeinserted - inserted;
        for (int j = 0; j < insertnow; j++)
            result += filler;
        inserted += insertnow;
    }

    return result;
}

Unfortunately only the three most basic and simple types of alignment are supported: Right, Left and Center.

The fourth one, Justified or Block, is not supported in any .NET control afaik, not even in a RichtTextBox :-(

The only workaround would be to add either spaces or better a smaller whitespace character like thin space(U+2009) or hair space (U+200A) between the words i.e. after the regular spaces until the Label's Height changes. Then step one back and try to find the next insertion point, i.e. the next line and so on.. until the end of the text is reached.

A little tricky but not terribly hard.

Another implementation.
This one inserts "Hair Spaces" between words only.

EDIT:
Added a method that implements paragraph Block Align.
Both JustifyParagraph() and JustifyLine() call the worker method Justify().

EDIT2:
Method call changed.

label1.Text = JustifyParagraph(label1.Text, label1.Font, label1.ClientSize.Width);

public string JustifyParagraph(string text, Font font, int ControlWidth)
{
    string result = string.Empty;
    List<string> ParagraphsList = new List<string>();
    ParagraphsList.AddRange(text.Split(new[] { "\r\n" }, StringSplitOptions.None).ToList());

    foreach (string Paragraph in ParagraphsList) {
        string line = string.Empty;
        int ParagraphWidth = TextRenderer.MeasureText(Paragraph, font).Width;

        if (ParagraphWidth > ControlWidth) {
            //Get all paragraph words, add a normal space and calculate when their sum exceeds the constraints
            string[] Words = Paragraph.Split(' ');
            line = Words[0] + (char)32;
            for (int x = 1; x < Words.Length; x++) {
                string tmpLine = line + (Words[x] + (char)32);
                if (TextRenderer.MeasureText(tmpLine, font).Width > ControlWidth)
                {
                    //Max lenght reached. Justify the line and step back
                    result += Justify(line.TrimEnd(), font, ControlWidth) + "\r\n";
                    line = string.Empty;
                    --x;
                } else {
                    //Some capacity still left
                    line += (Words[x] + (char)32);
                }
            }
            //Adds the remainder if any
            if (line.Length > 0)
            result += line + "\r\n";
        }
        else {
            result += Paragraph + "\r\n";
        }
    }
    return result.TrimEnd(new[]{ '\r', '\n' });
}


JustifyLines() only deals with single lines of text (shorter than the client area)

textBox1.Text = JustifyLines(textBox1.Text, textBox1.Font, textBox1.ClientSize.Width);

public string JustifyLines(string text, Font font, int ControlWidth)
{
    string result = string.Empty;
    List<string> Paragraphs = new List<string>();
    Paragraphs.AddRange(text.Split(new[] { "\r\n" }, StringSplitOptions.None).ToList());

    //Justify each paragraph and re-insert a linefeed
    foreach (string Paragraph in Paragraphs) {
        result += Justify(Paragraph, font, ControlWidth) + "\r\n";
    }
    return result.TrimEnd(new[] {'\r', '\n'});
}




The worker method

private string Justify(string text, Font font, int width)
{
    char SpaceChar = (char)0x200A;
    List<string> WordsList = text.Split((char)32).ToList();
    if (WordsList.Capacity < 2)
        return text;

    int NumberOfWords = WordsList.Capacity - 1;
    int WordsWidth = TextRenderer.MeasureText(text.Replace(" ", ""), font).Width;
    int SpaceCharWidth = TextRenderer.MeasureText(WordsList[0] + SpaceChar, font).Width
                       - TextRenderer.MeasureText(WordsList[0], font).Width;

    //Calculate the average spacing between each word minus the last one 
    int AverageSpace = ((width - WordsWidth) / NumberOfWords) / SpaceCharWidth;
    float AdjustSpace = (width - (WordsWidth + (AverageSpace * NumberOfWords * SpaceCharWidth)));

    //Add spaces to all words
    return ((Func<string>)(() => {
        string Spaces = "";
        string AdjustedWords = "";

        for (int h = 0; h < AverageSpace; h++)
            Spaces += SpaceChar;

        foreach (string Word in WordsList) {
            AdjustedWords += Word + Spaces;
            //Adjust the spacing if there's a reminder
            if (AdjustSpace > 0) {
                AdjustedWords += SpaceChar;
                AdjustSpace -= SpaceCharWidth;
            }
        }
        return AdjustedWords.TrimEnd();
    }))();
}


About the RichTextBox.
@TaW says that it doesn't support Block Align, but this is not exactly true.
RichTextBox is notoriously based on the RichEdit class and that class support "Justification".
This is reported in the old Platform SDK (with examples).
RichTextBox has its AdvancedTypographicsOption explicitly truncated during handle creation.
(It's not about implementing PARAFORMAT vs. PARAFORMAT2 structs, that's irrelevant, it's deliberate).

So this is a "cure" for poor RichTextBox. A class that derives from it and overrides OnHandleCreated to re-enable "Justification".
Works on a paragraph level or from a point onward.

public class JustifiedRichTextBox : RichTextBox
{
    [DllImport("user32", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, int wParam, [In] [Out] ref PARAFORMAT2 pf);

    [DllImport("user32", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, int wParam, int lParam);

    public enum TextAlignment
    {
        Left = 1,
        Right,
        Center,
        Justify
    }

    private const int EM_SETEVENTMASK = 1073;
    private const int EM_GETPARAFORMAT = 1085;
    private const int EM_SETPARAFORMAT = 1095;

    private const int TO_ADVANCEDTYPOGRAPHY = 0x1;
    private const int WM_SETREDRAW = 11;
    private const int PFM_ALIGNMENT = 8;
    private const int SCF_SELECTION = 1;

    private struct PARAFORMAT2

            pf.cbSize = Marshal.SizeOf(pf);
            SendMessage(this.Handle, EM_GETPARAFORMAT, SCF_SELECTION, ref pf);
            if ((pf.dwMask & PFM_ALIGNMENT) == 0) return TextAlignment.Left;
            return (TextAlignment)pf.wAlignment;

    }
