Split String when exceed length on Roll Paper

Question

In my c# windows form application for printing I'm using roll paper. And its working well. My format is like

Qty Item            Price
 1  ItemName        $2.00

And I am using,

g.DrawString(item.quantity.PadRight(2) + item.menu_title.PadRight(24) + item.price, new Font("Courier New", 10, FontStyle.Bold), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), startX, startY + offset);
                    offset = offset + (int)fontHeight + 5;

My problem is, I tried with a long menu name, That pushes the price away. and again when I tried to calculate the menuItem length and split after a certain length and put that in a new line, I got something like,

this Is Like What I'm ge
tting.

So, my question is there any way to set a section? and split if wont fit there. like

|qty|    |menuTitle-grid|    |price-grid|
| 5 |    |First Menu    |    |$5.00     |
         |Title         |
| 2 |    |2nd Menu Title|    |$2.00     |
| 1 |    |Third Menu    |    |$3.00     |
         |Title         |

please enlighten me with a solution

You can pass a `Rectangle` into `DrawString` to constrain the bounds it draws to. It will also split the text on spaces. — DavidG, Feb 14 '17 at 13:20
@Fruchtzwerg Thanks brother. I totally forgot the term wrapping. I'll have a look now. — Onick Ahmed, Feb 14 '17 at 13:30
