Setting bounds of text when creating Table of Contents

[Martin]

When i create my table of contents, if the text item is too long it runs over th epage numbering to the right. Can we set a maximum width of page width - 45??

My code for adding the titile elements to Table of Contents is as follows:

    Private Function AddTableOfContent(ByVal tocPage As PdfPage, ByVal content As String, ByVal points As PointF) As PdfLayoutResult

        Dim element As PdfTextElement = New PdfTextElement(content, Font, PdfBrushes.Black)

        Dim format As PdfLayoutFormat = New PdfLayoutFormat()

        format.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitPage

        format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate

        Dim result As PdfLayoutResult = element.Draw(tocPage, points)

        Return result

    End Function

I add the page numebr after using this:

    Private Sub AddPageNumberInTOC(ByVal pageNumberPosition As List(Of TOCPageNumbers), ByVal pageNumber As List(Of Integer))

        Dim count As Integer = 0

        For i As Integer = 0 To pageNumberPosition.Count - 1

            Dim ppagecount As Integer = pageNumber.Count

            Dim pagepos As Integer = pageNumberPosition.Count

            Dim points As PointF = pageNumberPosition(i).COord

            Dim page As PdfPage = pageNumberPosition(i).PDFPage

            page.Graphics.DrawString((pageNumber(count) + 1).ToString(), Font, PdfBrushes.Black, New PointF(page.Graphics.ClientSize.Width - 40, points.Y))

            Dim bounds As RectangleF = New RectangleF(points.X, points.Y, page.Graphics.ClientSize.Width - points.X, 10)

            Dim documentLinkAnnotation As PdfDocumentLinkAnnotation = New PdfDocumentLinkAnnotation(bounds)

            documentLinkAnnotation.AnnotationFlags = PdfAnnotationFlags.NoRotate

            documentLinkAnnotation.Color = Color.Transparent

            documentLinkAnnotation.Destination = New PdfDestination(document.Pages(pageNumber(count)))

            documentLinkAnnotation.Destination.Location = PointF.Empty

            page.Annotations.Add(documentLinkAnnotation)

            count += 1

        Next

    End Sub
