Is Graphics.MeasureString dependant on the control?

In a picture like the one below I get the "same" numbers for this pieces of code, simply one of them is for the texteditor and the other one is for a button..IN the picture I see that the font size of the the things I have types in the cells of the table are bigger than the font size of the button, but why these two codes return the same number? 

    Graphics graphics =  ctlTEEditor.CreateGraphics();
    int width = (int)graphics.MeasureString("FitsToooo", ctlTEEditor.Font).Width;
    MessageBox.Show(width.ToString());

    Graphics graphics2 = button1.CreateGraphics();
    int width2 = (int)graphics2.MeasureString("FitsToooo", button1.Font).Width;
    MessageBox.Show(width2.ToString());

enter image description here

Ok, the issue is that in the code when I say "ctlTEEditor.Font", this is the font of the control itself and not the font that is used inside the table cells.

MeasureString is not aware of any word wrapping that the control may choose to implement.
