Right Align a DrawString

Hi Guys,

I'm probably asking about the impossible but I'll give it a go anyway.

Can I right align a DrawString...?  I realise that it is drawn with x and y axes and is measured from the top-left hand corner of the DrawString.  The only way would probably be to make the DrawString measure from the top-righ hand corner and go right to left instead of left to right.

My code is below:          

text = "Net Sales Value"
e.Graphics.DrawString(text, printFont2, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 510, 230)

text = "Tax Value"
e.Graphics.DrawString(text, printFont2, System.Drawing.Brushes.Black, 610, 230)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Jakekula

it is much easier than that, just use the stringformat

        Dim recf As New RectangleF(0, 0, 300, 20)
        Dim hh As New StringFormat
        hh.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far
        g.DrawString("hello", Me.Font, New SolidBrush(Color.Black), recf, hh)

this will right align in the rectangle recf
