Getting size of a string (measurestring)

[nemaroller]

Ok, I know how to get the size in pixels of a string using measureString...

Here's my problem:

I need to resize text to fit inside the dimensions of my user control button.

I need to be able to have my user control automatically determine the appropriate font size based on how wide or high the control is.

This is what I got so far:

'get size of string to be printed
stringSize = graphics.MeasureString(text, Font)
 
'if size of string to be printed is larger than the width of the control
If stringSize > Width Then 
 
'need to implement code that will
'set the font size to something that will
'fit within the Width of the control
 
'ie..  Font.Size = Width   (which obviously isnt it, but makes it clear my intentions)
