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. Make sure the form contains a ListBox named listBox1.
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))
' Create a rectangleF.
Dim rectFToFill As New RectangleF(shadowLocation, shadowSize)
' Create a custom brush using a semi-transparent color, and
' then fill in the rectangle.
Dim customColor As Color = Color.FromArgb(50, Color.Gray)
Dim shadowBrush As SolidBrush = New SolidBrush(customColor)
e.Graphics.FillRectangles(shadowBrush, _
New RectangleF() {rectFToFill})
' Dispose of the brush.
shadowBrush.Dispose()
