Parameters

prop

PointProperty

One of the PointProperty values that specifies which property value to retrieve for the current visual style element.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetPoint method in a custom control to get the offset of the window Close button in relation to the upper-right corner of the title bar. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the VisualStyleRenderer class overview.

    // Get the sizes and offsets for the window parts as specified
    // by the visual style.
private:
    void GetPartDetails()
    {
        // Do nothing further if visual styles are not enabled.
        if (!Application::RenderWithVisualStyles)
        {
            return;
        }

        Graphics^ g = this->CreateGraphics();

        // Get the size and offset of the close button.
        if (SetRenderer(windowElements["windowClose"]))
        {
            closeButtonSize =
                renderer->GetPartSize(g, ThemeSizeType::True);
            closeButtonOffset =
                renderer->GetPoint(PointProperty::Offset);
        }

        // Get the height of the window caption.
        if (SetRenderer(windowElements["windowCaption"]))
        {
            captionHeight = renderer->GetPartSize(g,
                ThemeSizeType::True).Height;
        }

        // Get the thickness of the left, bottom,
        // and right window frame.
        if (SetRenderer(windowElements["windowLeft"]))
        {
            frameThickness = renderer->GetPartSize(g,
                ThemeSizeType::True).Width;
        }

        // Get the size of the resizing gripper.
        if (SetRenderer(windowElements["statusGripper"]))
        {
            gripperSize = renderer->GetPartSize(g,
                ThemeSizeType::True);
        }

    }

            closeButtonOffset =
                renderer.GetPoint(PointProperty.Offset);
        }

        // Get the height of the window caption.
        if (SetRenderer(windowElements["windowCaption"]))
        {
            captionHeight = renderer.GetPartSize(g,

Remarks

Visual styles use a set of point values to describe some properties of the elements defined by a style. These properties are encapsulated by the PointProperty values.
