Control.Paint Event
.NET Framework 2.0
Occurs when the control is redrawn.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
'Declaration Public Event Paint As PaintEventHandler 'Usage Dim instance As Control Dim handler As PaintEventHandler AddHandler instance.Paint, handler
/** @event */ public void add_Paint (PaintEventHandler value) /** @event */ public void remove_Paint (PaintEventHandler value)
JScript supports the use of events, but not the declaration of new ones.
For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.
The following code example creates a PictureBox control on the form and uses the Paint event to draw to it.
' This example creates a PictureBox control on the form and draws to it. ' This example assumes that the Form_Load event handler method is connected ' to the Load event of the form. Private pictureBox1 As New PictureBox() Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ' Dock the PictureBox to the form and set its background to white. pictureBox1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill pictureBox1.BackColor = Color.White ' Connect the Paint event of the PictureBox to the event handler method. AddHandler pictureBox1.Paint, AddressOf Me.pictureBox1_Paint ' Add the PictureBox control to the Form. Me.Controls.Add(pictureBox1) End Sub 'Form1_Load Private Sub pictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) ' Create a local version of the graphics object for the PictureBox. Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics ' Draw a string on the PictureBox. g.DrawString("This is a diagonal line drawn on the control", _ New Font("Arial", 10), Brushes.Red, New PointF(30.0F, 30.0F)) ' Draw a line in the PictureBox. g.DrawLine(System.Drawing.Pens.Red, pictureBox1.Left, _ pictureBox1.Top, pictureBox1.Right, pictureBox1.Bottom) End Sub 'pictureBox1_Paint
