OvalShape Constructor (ShapeContainer)
Initializes a new instance of the OvalShape class, specifying the ShapeContainer in which it will be contained.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)
Syntax
public OvalShape(
ShapeContainer parent
)
public:
OvalShape(
ShapeContainer^ parent
)
new :
parent:ShapeContainer -> OvalShape
Public Sub New (
parent As ShapeContainer
)
Parameters
parent
Type: Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainerA ShapeContainer in which the OvalShape will be contained.
Remarks
An OvalShape control cannot be displayed directly on a form or container control; it must be contained in a ShapeContainer object. After you initialize an OvalShape, you will have to set its Parent property either to an existing ShapeContainer or to a new instance of ShapeContainer.
When you add an OvalShape to a form or container that already contains a ShapeContainer, you should use the existing ShapeContainer instead of declaring a new one. Hosting more than one ShapeContainer on a form or container can cause unexpected results with z-order and events.
Examples
The following example creates an OvalShape and adds it to a form that already contains a LineShape. This example requires that you have a LineShape named LineShape1 on a form.
private void DrawOval()
{
// Declare an OvalShape and parent it to LineShape1's ShapeContainer.
Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.OvalShape oval1 =
new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.OvalShape(lineShape1.Parent);
// Set the location and size of the oval.
oval1.Left = 10;
oval1.Top = 10;
oval1.Width = 100;
oval1.Height = 200;
}
Private Sub DrawOval()
' Declare an OvalShape and parent it to LineShape1's ShapeContainer.
Dim oval1 As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.
OvalShape(LineShape1.Parent)
' Set the location and size of the oval.
oval1.Left = 10
oval1.Top = 10
oval1.Width = 100
oval1.Height = 200
End Sub
