Property Value

Type: System.Int32

The width of the shape in pixels.

Remarks

Changes made to the Width and Left property values cause the Right property value of the shape to change.

You can use the Size property to change both the Height and the Width properties, or use the SetBounds method to change a shape's size and location in a single statement.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the Height and Width properties to change the size of a shape. This example requires that you have an OvalShape control named OvalShape1 on a form.

private void ovalShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Set the height.
    ovalShape1.Height = ovalShape1.Height + 50;
    // Set the width the same as the height to make it a circle.
    ovalShape1.Width = ovalShape1.Height;
}

Private Sub OvalShape1_Click() Handles OvalShape1.Click
    ' Set the height.
    OvalShape1.Height = OvalShape1.Height + 50
    ' Set the width the same as the height to make it a circle.
    OvalShape1.Width = OvalShape1.Height
End Sub
