Calculates the button’s size needed to fit its content.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v18.2.dll
Declaration
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| g | Graphics | A System.Drawing.Graphics object used to paint. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Size | A System.Drawing.Size object representing the button’s size that will best fit its content. |
Remarks
This method returns the minimum button size required to fit the button’s content including the offset from each button’s border.
Basically, the CalcBestFit method is used internally by editors to specify the size of buttons they display. You can also use this method when creating buttons at runtime to guarantee that the buttons’ contents are completely visible.
Example
The following sample code declares a CreateSimpleButton method that creates and initializes a new SimpleButton control. The method has two parameters specifying the coordinates of the button’s top left corner. The BaseButton.CalcBestFit method is used to calculate the size of the button’s contents (an image and text) in order to set a proper button size.
The result of the sample code execution is displayed below.
using DevExpress.XtraEditors;
// ...
private void CreateSimpleButton(int left, int top){
// Creating and initializing a new SimpleButton control
SimpleButton simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
Controls.Add(simpleButton);
simpleButton.Text = "Show Settings Page";
simpleButton.ImageList = imageList1;
simpleButton.ImageIndex = 0;
simpleButton.Size = simpleButton.CalcBestFit(simpleButton.CreateGraphics());
simpleButton.Location = new Point(left, top);
}
// Creating SimpleButton control at the specific location
CreateSimpleButton(30, 30);
