    The new Width property value of the shape.

  • height
    Type: System.Int32

Remarks

You can 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 SetBounds method to change the size and location of a shape. Specifically, the shape is moved to the upper-left corner of the form and changed to a square. This example requires that you have a RectangleShape control named RectangleShape1 on a form.

Private Sub RectangleShape1_Click() Handles RectangleShape1.Click
    ' Change the Bounds property.
    RectangleShape1.SetBounds(0, 0, 100, 100)
End Sub

private void rectangleShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Change the Bounds property.
    rectangleShape1.SetBounds(0, 0, 100, 100);
}
