SolidBrush Class
Defines a brush of a single color. Brushes are used to fill graphics shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses, pies, polygons, and paths. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The SolidBrush type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Clone | Creates an exact copy of this SolidBrush object. (Overrides Brush::Clone().) |
![]() | CreateObjRef | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | Dispose() | Releases all resources used by this Brush object. (Inherited from Brush.) |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Brush and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from Brush.) |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Brush.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetLifetimeService | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone(Boolean) | Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
![]() | SetNativeBrush | In a derived class, sets a reference to a GDI+ brush object. (Inherited from Brush.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The following code example adds a shadow to a ListBox using a SolidBrush.
This example is designed to be used with a Windows Form. To run this example, paste this code into a form and call the AddShadow method when handling the form's Paint event. Make sure the form contains a ListBox named listBox1.
private: void AddShadow( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Create two SizeF objects. SizeF shadowSize = listBox1->Size; SizeF addSize = SizeF(10.5F,20.8F); // Add them together and save the result in shadowSize. shadowSize = shadowSize + addSize; // Get the location of the ListBox and convert it to a PointF. PointF shadowLocation = listBox1->Location; // Add two points to get a new location. shadowLocation = shadowLocation + System::Drawing::Size( 5, 5 ); // Create a rectangleF. RectangleF rectFToFill = RectangleF(shadowLocation,shadowSize); // Create a custom brush using a semi-transparent color, and // then fill in the rectangle. Color customColor = Color::FromArgb( 50, Color::Gray ); SolidBrush^ shadowBrush = gcnew SolidBrush( customColor ); array<RectangleF>^ temp0 = {rectFToFill}; e->Graphics->FillRectangles( shadowBrush, temp0 ); // Dispose of the brush. delete shadowBrush; }
