Creates a temporary Graphics from the thisForm Form of the example.
Sets the clipping region of the temporary Graphics to a small square.
Updates the clipping region of the form's graphic object to that of the new Graphics with the Replace member.
Fills a large rectangle with a solid black brush.
The result is a small, filled, black square.

Graphics^ newGraphics = this->CreateGraphics(); newGraphics->SetClip( Rectangle(0,0,100,100) ); // Update clipping region of graphics to clipping region of new // graphics. e->Graphics->SetClip( newGraphics, CombineMode::Replace ); // Fill rectangle to demonstrate clip region. e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Black ), 0, 0, 500, 300 ); // Release new graphics. delete newGraphics; }
