DrawRectangle() doesnt work on my Direct2D application

Question

Here is the straightforward code inside the WM_PAINT:

   bool HandlePaint() {  
           PAINTSTRUCT ps;  
           BeginPaint(state.hwnd, &ps);  
     
           if (state.d2dDeviceContext && state.dxgiSwapChain) {  
               state.d2dDeviceContext->BeginDraw();  
     
               state.d2dDeviceContext->Clear(D2D1::ColorF(1, 1, 1, 1));  
     
               DWRITE_TEXT_METRICS textMetrics;  
               state.displayTextLayout->GetMetrics(&textMetrics);  
     
               D2D1_RECT_F rectf = D2D1::RectF(  
                   state.displayRectOrigin.x,  
                   state.displayRectOrigin.y,  
                   textMetrics.width + 10,  
                   textMetrics.height + 10  
               );  
     
               state.d2dDeviceContext->DrawRectangle(  
                   rectf,  
                   state.rectColorBrush,  
                   0.0f,  
                   nullptr  
               );  
     
               state.d2dDeviceContext->DrawTextLayout(  
                   D2D1::Point2F(state.displayRectOrigin.x + 5, state.displayRectOrigin.y + 5),  
                   state.displayTextLayout,  
                   state.textColorBrush  
               );  
     
               HRESULT hresult = state.d2dDeviceContext->EndDraw();  
               if (hresult == D2DERR_RECREATE_TARGET) {  
                   state.d2dDeviceContext->SetTarget(nullptr);  
                   SafeRelease(&state.d2dDeviceContext);  
                   DiscardBrushes();  
     
                   if (!CreateDirect3DDevice()) return false;  
                   if (!CreateDirect2DDevice()) return false;  
                   if (!CreateSwapChain(state.hwnd)) return false;  
                   if (!ConfigureSwapChain(state.hwnd)) return false;  
     
                   if (!CreateBrushes()) return false;  
     
                   return true;  
               }  
     
               state.dxgiSwapChain->Present(1, 0);  
           }  
     
           EndPaint(state.hwnd, &ps);  
           return true;  
       }  

The problem is simple, my goal is to surround the text with a blue-colored box, which is like 5 pixels around the text (5 pixel padding), but the rectangle doesnt draw at all.

There is no error.

Also, the variable rectf has a valid rectangle size. I have no idea why the rectangle doesnt drawn on.

Edit: Its a misusage of DrawRectangle(), I should use FillRectangle(), but this makes the other problem, it only draws a small part of the rectangle, not even surround the text!

Here is the full code.

Answer 1

The RectF should be :

  D2D1_RECT_F rectf = D2D1::RectF(  
                state.displayRectOrigin.x,  
                state.displayRectOrigin.y,  
                state.displayRectOrigin.x + textMetrics.width + 10,  
                state.displayRectOrigin.y + textMetrics.height + 10  
            );  

(and at least 1.0F for stokeWidth for DrawRectangle)
