Specifies the display and layout information for text strings.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
|Aligns the text on the bottom of the bounding rectangle. Applied only when the text is a single line.|
|Removes the end of trimmed lines, and replaces them with an ellipsis.|
|Expands tab characters. The default number of characters per tab is eight. The , , and values cannot be used with .|
|Includes the font external leading in line height. Typically, external leading is not included in the height of a line of text.|
|Applies the default formatting, which is left-aligned.|
|Applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP only: |
Ignores the ampersand (&) prefix character in the text. The letter that follows will not be underlined, but other mnemonic-prefix characters are still processed. For example, an input string of "A&bc&&d" with applied would result in output of "Abc&d".

|Centers the text horizontally within the bounding rectangle.|
|Uses the system font to calculate text metrics.|
|Aligns the text on the left side of the clipping area.|
|Has no effect on the drawn text.|
|Allows the overhanging parts of glyphs and unwrapped text reaching outside the formatting rectangle to show.|
|Turns off processing of prefix characters. Typically, the ampersand (&) mnemonic-prefix character is interpreted as a directive to underscore the character that follows, and the double-ampersand (&&) mnemonic-prefix characters as a directive to print a single ampersand. By specifying , this processing is turned off. For example, an input string of "A&bc&&d" with applied would result in output of "A&bc&&d".|

|Applies to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP only:|
Prevents a line break at a double-wide character string, so that the line-breaking rule is equivalent to single-wide character strings. For example, increases the readability of icon labels in Korean windows. This value has no effect unless is also specified.
|Removes the center of trimmed lines and replaces it with an ellipsis.|
|Applies to Windows 2000 or Windows XP only: |
Draws only an underline at the position of the character following the ampersand (&) prefix character. Does not draw any other characters in the string. For example, an input string of "A&bc&&d" would result in output of " _ ".
Compare with and .
|Aligns the text on the right side of the clipping area.|
|Displays the text from right to left.|
|Displays the text in a single line.|
|Specifies the text should be formatted for display on a TextBox control.|
|Aligns the text on the top of the bounding rectangle.|
|Centers the text vertically, within the bounding rectangle.|
|Breaks the text at the end of a word.|
|Trims the line to the nearest word and an ellipsis is placed at the end of a trimmed line.|
|Preserves the clipping specified by a Graphics object. Applies only to methods receiving an IDeviceContext that is a Graphics.|
|Preserves the transformation specified by a Graphics. Applies only to methods receiving an IDeviceContext that is a Graphics.|
|Adds padding to the bounding rectangle to accommodate overhanging glyphs.|
|Does not add padding to the bounding rectangle.|
|Adds padding to both sides of the bounding rectangle.|
