Building and Running the Sample

To build and run this sample

  1. Open the solution file Polygon.sln.

  2. From the Build menu, click Build.

  3. After the sample builds, open PolyCtl.htm in your Web browser and try out the Polygon control. If you click inside the polygon, the number of sides increases. If you click outside the polygon, the number of sides decreases.

You can test the Polygon control in the ActiveX Control Test Container. For details on accessing Test Container and using it to test a control, see Testing Properties and Events with Test Container.
