Property Value

Graphics

A Graphics used to draw the ListViewItem.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Graphics property in an application that provides custom drawing for a ListView control. In the example, a handler for the ListView.DrawItem event draws the background for entire items. In all views except the details view, this handler also draws the foreground text. In the details view, the foreground text is drawn in the ListView.DrawSubItem event.

For the complete example, see the DrawListViewItemEventArgs overview reference topic.

// Draws the backgrounds for entire ListView items.
private void listView1_DrawItem(object sender,
    DrawListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    if ((e.State & ListViewItemStates.Selected) != 0)
    {
        // Draw the background and focus rectangle for a selected item.
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Maroon, e.Bounds);
        e.DrawFocusRectangle();
    }
    else
    {
        // Draw the background for an unselected item.
        using (LinearGradientBrush brush =
            new LinearGradientBrush(e.Bounds, Color.Orange,
            Color.Maroon, LinearGradientMode.Horizontal))
        {
            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.Bounds);
        }
    }

    // Draw the item text for views other than the Details view.
    if (listView1.View != View.Details)
    {
        e.DrawText();
    }
}

' Draws the backgrounds for entire ListView items.
Private Sub listView1_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As DrawListViewItemEventArgs) _
    Handles listView1.DrawItem

    If Not (e.State And ListViewItemStates.Selected) = 0 Then

        ' Draw the background for a selected item.
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Maroon, e.Bounds)
        e.DrawFocusRectangle()

    Else

        ' Draw the background for an unselected item.
        Dim brush As New LinearGradientBrush(e.Bounds, Color.Orange, _
            Color.Maroon, LinearGradientMode.Horizontal)
        Try
            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.Bounds)
        Finally
            brush.Dispose()
        End Try

    End If

    ' Draw the item text for views other than the Details view.
    If Not Me.listView1.View = View.Details Then
        e.DrawText()
    End If

End Sub

The Graphics class provides properties and methods useful for drawing on the display device.
