ControlPaint Class
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)
The methods contained in the ControlPaint class enable you to draw your own controls or elements of controls. You can control the drawing of your own controls if the UserPaint bit is set to true for the control. You can get or set the style bits by calling the GetStyle or SetStyle methods. You can set multiple style bits for any control. The ControlStyles enumeration members can be combined with bitwise operations.
The following code example uses one of the ControlPaint constructors to draw a flat Button control.
using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; public class Form1 : Form { private Button button1 = new Button(); private Button button2 = new Button(); [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Run(new Form1()); } public Form1(){ this.button2.Location = new Point(0, button1.Height + 10); this.Click += new EventHandler(this.button2_Click); this.Controls.Add(this.button1); this.Controls.Add(this.button2); } private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Draws a flat button on button1. ControlPaint.DrawButton( System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(button1.Handle),0,0,button1.Width,button1.Height, ButtonState.Flat); } }

public class Form1 extends Form

Application.Run(new Form1());
} //main

{
this.button2.set_Location(new Point(0, button1.get_Height() + 10));
this.add_Click(new EventHandler(this.button2_Click));
this.get_Controls().Add(this.button1);
this.get_Controls().Add(this.button2);
} //Form1
private void button2_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Draws a flat button on button1.
ControlPaint.DrawButton(System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHwnd(
button1.get_Handle()), 0, 0, button1.get_Width(),
button1.get_Height(), ButtonState.Flat);
} //button2_Click
} //Form1
