The unit for a SizeF structure depends on the PageUnit and PageScale settings for the Graphics object used to draw.

The following code example adds a shadow to a ListBox using the following members:

The following code example adds a shadow to a ListBox using the following members:

This example is designed to be used with a Windows Form. To run this example, paste this code into a form and call the AddShadow method when handling the form's Paint event. Verify that the form contains a ListBox named listBox1.

Visual Basic
Private Sub AddShadow(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create two SizeF objects.
    Dim shadowSize As SizeF = Size.op_Implicit(listBox1.Size)
    Dim addSize As New SizeF(10.5F, 20.8F)

    ' Add them together and save the result in shadowSize.
    shadowSize = SizeF.op_Addition(shadowSize, addSize)

    ' Get the location of the ListBox and convert it to a PointF.
    Dim shadowLocation As PointF = Point.op_Implicit(listBox1.Location)

    ' Add a Size to the Point to get a new location.
    shadowLocation = PointF.op_Addition(shadowLocation, New Size(5, 5))
