Rect::Intersect Method (Rect, Rect)

 

Returns the intersection of the specified rectangles.

Namespace:   System.Windows
Assembly:  WindowsBase (in WindowsBase.dll)

public:
static Rect Intersect(
	Rect rect1,
	Rect rect2
)

Parameters

rect1
Type: System.Windows::Rect

The first rectangle to compare.

rect2
Type: System.Windows::Rect

The second rectangle to compare.

Return Value

Type: System.Windows::Rect

The intersection of the two rectangles, or Rect::Empty if no intersection exists.

The following example shows how to use the Intersect(Rect, Rect) method to find the intersection of two rectangles.

private Rect intersectExample2()
{
    // Initialize new rectangle.
    Rect myRectangle = new Rect();

    // The Location property specifies the coordinates of the upper left-hand 
    // corner of the rectangle. 
    myRectangle.Location = new Point(10, 5);

    // Set the Size property of the rectangle with a width of 200
    // and a height of 50.
    myRectangle.Size = new Size(200, 50);

    // Create second rectangle to compare to the first.
    Rect myRectangle2 = new Rect();
    myRectangle2.Location = new Point(0, 0);
    myRectangle2.Size = new Size(200, 50);

    // Intersect method finds the intersection between the specified rectangles and 
    // returns the result as a Rect. If there is no intersection then the Empty Rect 
    // is returned. resultRectangle has a size of 190,45 and location of 10,5. 
    Rect resultRectangle = Rect.Intersect(myRectangle, myRectangle2);

    return resultRectangle;
