Public Overridable Property Bounds As Rectangle

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public:

    Rectangle get ();
    void set (Rectangle value);

function get Bounds () : Rectangle 
function set Bounds (value : Rectangle)

Property Value

Type: Rectangle
A Rectangle in pixels, relative to the parent control, that represents the size and location of the shape.

Remarks

You can call the SetBounds method to change the Bounds property in a single operation.

Because SimpleShape has no non-client area, the Bounds and ClientRectangle properties are the same.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the SetBounds method to change the Bounds property 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);
}
