Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the PointToScreen and RectangleToScreen methods to change the color of a RectangleShape when a drag operation ends over its client area. This example requires that you have a RectangleShape control named RectangleShape1 on a form and that its BackStyle property be set to Opaque.
Public isDrag As Boolean = True
Public theRectangle As System.Drawing.Rectangle
Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(
ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs
) Handles RectangleShape1.MouseMove
' If the mouse is being dragged, undraw and redraw the rectangle
' while the mouse moves.
If (isDrag) Then
' Hide the previous rectangle by calling the
' DrawReversibleFrame method, using the same parameters.
ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame(theRectangle, Me.BackColor,
FrameStyle.Dashed)
' Calculate the endpoint and dimensions for the new rectangle,
' again by using the PointToScreen method.
Dim startPoint As Point = New Point(RectangleShape1.Width,
RectangleShape1.Height)
Dim endPoint As Point = RectangleShape1.PointToScreen(New Point(e.X, e.Y))
Dim width As Integer = endPoint.X - startPoint.X
Dim height As Integer = endPoint.Y - startPoint.Y
theRectangle = New Rectangle(startPoint.X, startPoint.Y,
width, height)
' Draw the new rectangle by calling DrawReversibleFrame again.
ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame(theRectangle, Me.BackColor,
FrameStyle.Dashed)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_MouseUp() Handles RectangleShape1.MouseUp
' If the MouseUp event occurs, the user is not dragging.
isDrag = False
' Draw the rectangle to be evaluated. Set a dashed frame style
' by using the FrameStyle enumeration.
ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame(theRectangle, Me.BackColor,
FrameStyle.Dashed)
' Find out which controls intersect the rectangle, and change
' their colors.
' The method uses the RectangleToScreen method to convert the
' control's client coordinates to screen coordinates.
Dim controlRectangle As Rectangle
controlRectangle = RectangleShape1.RectangleToScreen(
RectangleShape1.ClientRectangle)
If controlRectangle.IntersectsWith(theRectangle) Then
RectangleShape1.BackColor = Color.BurlyWood
End If
' Reset the rectangle.
theRectangle = New Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0)
End Sub
