Examples

• The following example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code example demonstrates how to use the Data from one RegionData object to set the Data for another RegionData.

private:
   void DemonstrateRegionData2( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      //Create a simple region.
      System::Drawing::Region^ region1 = gcnew System::Drawing::Region( Rectangle(10,10,100,100) );

      // Extract the region data.
      System::Drawing::Drawing2D::RegionData^ region1Data = region1->GetRegionData();
      array<Byte>^data1;
      data1 = region1Data->Data;

      // Create a second region.
      System::Drawing::Region^ region2 = gcnew System::Drawing::Region;

      // Get the region data for the second region.
      System::Drawing::Drawing2D::RegionData^ region2Data = region2->GetRegionData();

      // Set the Data property for the second region to the Data from the first region.
      region2Data->Data = data1;

      // Construct a third region using the modified RegionData of the second region.
      System::Drawing::Region^ region3 = gcnew System::Drawing::Region( region2Data );

      // Dispose of the first and second regions.
      delete region1;
      delete region2;

      // Call ExcludeClip passing in the third region.
      e->Graphics->ExcludeClip( region3 );

      // Fill in the client rectangle.
      e->Graphics->FillRectangle( Brushes::Red, this->ClientRectangle );
      delete region3;
   }

private void DemonstrateRegionData2(PaintEventArgs e)
{

    //Create a simple region.
    Region region1 = new Region(new Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 100));

    // Extract the region data.
    System.Drawing.Drawing2D.RegionData region1Data = region1.GetRegionData();
    byte[] data1;
    data1 = region1Data.Data;

    // Create a second region.
    Region region2 = new Region();

    // Get the region data for the second region.
    System.Drawing.Drawing2D.RegionData region2Data = region2.GetRegionData();

    // Set the Data property for the second region to the Data from the first region.
    region2Data.Data = data1;

    // Construct a third region using the modified RegionData of the second region.
    Region region3 = new Region(region2Data);

    // Dispose of the first and second regions.
    region1.Dispose();
    region2.Dispose();

    // Call ExcludeClip passing in the third region.
    e.Graphics.ExcludeClip(region3);

    // Fill in the client rectangle.
    e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Red, this.ClientRectangle);

    region3.Dispose();
}

Private Sub DemonstrateRegionData2(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    'Create a simple region.
    Dim region1 As New Region(New Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 100))

    ' Extract the region data.
    Dim region1Data As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.RegionData = region1.GetRegionData
    Dim data1() As Byte
    data1 = region1Data.Data
