Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of one of the DrawBorder3D methods. To run this example, paste the following code in a form that imports the System.Windows.Forms and System.Drawing namespaces. Ensure the form's Paint event is associated with the event handler in this example.

Visual Basic


' Handle the Form's Paint event to draw a 3D three-dimensional 
' raised border just inside the border of the frame.
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint

    Dim borderRectangle As Rectangle = Me.ClientRectangle
    borderRectangle.Inflate(-10, -10)
    ControlPaint.DrawBorder3D(e.Graphics, borderRectangle, _
        Border3DStyle.Raised)
End Sub


	// Handle the Form's Paint event to draw a 3D three-dimensional 
	// raised border just inside the border of the frame.
	private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
	{

		Rectangle borderRectangle = this.ClientRectangle;
		borderRectangle.Inflate(-10, -10);
		ControlPaint.DrawBorder3D(e.Graphics, borderRectangle, 
			Border3DStyle.Raised);
	}

Visual C++


// Handle the Form's Paint event to draw a 3D three-dimensional 
// raised border just inside the border of the frame.
void Form1_Paint( Object^ /*sender*/, PaintEventArgs^ e )
{
   Rectangle borderRectangle = this->ClientRectangle;
   borderRectangle.Inflate(  -10, -10 );
   ControlPaint::DrawBorder3D( e->Graphics, borderRectangle, Border3DStyle::Raised );
