Control::Region Property
Gets or sets the window region associated with the control.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The window region is a collection of pixels within the window where the operating system permits drawing. The operating system does not display any portion of a window that lies outside of the window region. The coordinates of a control's region are relative to the upper-left corner of the control, not the client area of the control.
Note: |
|---|
The collection of pixels contained with the region can be noncontiguous. |
The following code example demonstrates how to use the Region property by creating a round button. To run the example, paste the following code in a form containing a button called roundButton. This example requires that the Paint event is connected to the event handler defined in the example.
private: // This method will change the square button to a circular button by // creating a new circle-shaped GraphicsPath object and setting it // to the RoundButton objects region. void roundButton_Paint( Object^ sender, System::Windows::Forms::PaintEventArgs^ e ) { System::Drawing::Drawing2D::GraphicsPath^ buttonPath = gcnew System::Drawing::Drawing2D::GraphicsPath; // Set a new rectangle to the same size as the button's // ClientRectangle property. System::Drawing::Rectangle newRectangle = roundButton->ClientRectangle; // Decrease the size of the rectangle. newRectangle.Inflate( -10, -10 ); // Draw the button's border. e->Graphics->DrawEllipse( System::Drawing::Pens::Black, newRectangle ); // Increase the size of the rectangle to include the border. newRectangle.Inflate( 1, 1 ); // Create a circle within the new rectangle. buttonPath->AddEllipse( newRectangle ); // Set the button's Region property to the newly created // circle region. roundButton->Region = gcnew System::Drawing::Region( buttonPath ); }
