Drawstring word wrap or display entire text

Question

This is the output i get when i use DrawString.

I=Smith,John II=Johnson,Mark III=Anderson,James IV=William,Craig V=Ford,He...

page is a float datatype which value is based on e.PageSettings.Margins.Left;

e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 8F, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, page, 30);

In the above example, it is

e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 8F, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, page, 30);

I tried using this

StringFormat format = new StringFormat();            
format.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.FitBlackBox;

 e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 8F, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, page, 30, format);

How do i expand/word wrap so that i can have the entire words instead of '...' at the end?

You can "word wrap" the text by using a bounding rectangle.

Use Graphics.DrawString Method (String, Font, Brush, RectangleF, StringFormat)

The RectangleF specifies the draw area and it will automatically "wrap" your text for you.

What are the boundaries of your drawing rectangle? – Sorean Feb 29 '12 at 23:03
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(100, 80, 800, 20); – Sharpeye500 Feb 29 '12 at 23:06

800 pixels wide? I assume that your window will be at least 900 pixels wide? It's also only 20 pixels high, I doubt that the text would even "wrap" with that height. – Sorean Feb 29 '12 at 23:26
