The following code example demonstrates how to create a pen and set its DashStyle property using the DashStyle enumeration.
This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form that contains a Button named Button3. Paste the code into the form and associate the Button3_Click method with the button's Click event.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim buttonGraphics As Graphics = Button3.CreateGraphics() Dim myPen As Pen = New Pen(Color.ForestGreen, 4.0F) myPen.DashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.DashDotDot Dim theRectangle As Rectangle = Button3.ClientRectangle theRectangle.Inflate(-2, -2) buttonGraphics.DrawRectangle(myPen, theRectangle) buttonGraphics.Dispose() myPen.Dispose() End Sub
private void button3_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Graphics buttonGraphics = button3.CreateGraphics();
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.get_ForestGreen(), 4.0F);
myPen.set_DashStyle(System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.DashDotDot);
Rectangle theRectangle = button3.get_ClientRectangle();
theRectangle.Inflate(-2, -2);
buttonGraphics.DrawRectangle(myPen, theRectangle);
buttonGraphics.Dispose();
myPen.Dispose();
} //button3_Click
