Visual Studio 2010
Namespace: System.Drawing
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:
Creates a small rectangle for the clipping region.
Sets the clipping region to the rectangle.
Fills a large rectangle with a solid black brush.
The result is a small, filled, black rectangle.
public: void SetClipRectangle( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Create rectangle for clipping region. Rectangle clipRect = Rectangle(0,0,100,100); // Set clipping region of graphics to rectangle. e->Graphics->SetClip( clipRect ); // Fill rectangle to demonstrate clip region. e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Black ), 0, 0, 500, 300 ); }
