Measure an RTF string - DOTNET

Short answer is "no".

I think however that you can discover the position of a character in the
rich text box. This may serve as a workaround.

The big problem of course is that a line of text may contain a lot of
different fonts and sizes. MeasureString only cares about a simple
string of characters.

You mean there is no tools or workaround the RTF? How can I measure this? I
have a lot of international characters, formating characters, colored and
bold characters, etc.

No, I guess not. The RTF control is "as is", which means there's nothing
more (not much, at least) than documented.

You can get the y-coordinate "after the last line", but not the x-coordinate
("line width if there's only one line").
