Point Explicit Conversion (Point to Size)

 

Converts the specified Point structure to a Size structure.

Namespace:   System.Drawing
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)

public:
static explicit operator Size (
	Point p
)

Parameters

p
Type: System.Drawing::Point

The Point to be converted.

Return Value

Type: System.Drawing::Size

The Size that results from the conversion.

The following code example creates points and sizes using several of the overloaded operators defined for these types. It also demonstrates how to use the SystemPens class.

This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form that contains a Button named subtractButton. Paste the code into the form and call the CreatePointsAndSizes method from the form's Paint event-handling method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

void CreatePointsAndSizes( PaintEventArgs^ e )
{
   // Create the starting point.
   Point startPoint = Point(subtractButton->Size);

   // Use the addition operator to get the end point.
   Point endPoint = startPoint + System::Drawing::Size( 140, 150 );

   // Draw a line between the points.
   e->Graphics->DrawLine( SystemPens::Highlight, startPoint, endPoint );

   // Convert the starting point to a size and compare it to the
   // subtractButton size.  
   System::Drawing::Size buttonSize = (System::Drawing::Size)startPoint;
   if ( buttonSize == subtractButton->Size )
   {
      e->Graphics->DrawString( "The sizes are equal.", gcnew System::Drawing::Font( this->Font,FontStyle::Italic ), Brushes::Indigo, 10.0F, 65.0F );
   }
}
