Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Scale method to scale an OvalShape control. This example requires that you have an OvalShape control named OvalShape1 on a form.

private void ovalShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    bool state = true;
    if (state == false)
    {
        ovalShape1.Scale(new SizeF(2, 3));
        state = true;
    }
    else
    {
        ovalShape1.Scale(new SizeF((float)0.5, ((float)0.333)));
        state = false;
    }
}

Private Sub OvalShape1_Click() Handles OvalShape1.Click
    Dim state As Boolean
    If state = False Then
        OvalShape1.Scale(New SizeF(2, 3))
        state = True
    Else
        OvalShape1.Scale(New SizeF(0.5, 0.333))
        state = False
    End If
End Sub
