.NET Framework Class Library
PropertyGrid..::.OnPaint Method

Raises the Paint event.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint ( _
	pevent As PaintEventArgs _
)
protected override void OnPaint(
	PaintEventArgs pevent
)
protected:
virtual void OnPaint(
	PaintEventArgs^ pevent
) override
abstract OnPaint : 
        pevent:PaintEventArgs -> unit 
override OnPaint : 
        pevent:PaintEventArgs -> unit 

Parameters

pevent
Type: System.Windows.Forms..::.PaintEventArgs
A PaintEventArgs that contains the event data.
Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnPaint method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnPaint in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnPaint method so that registered delegates receive the event.
