RectangleShape Constructor

Initializes a new instance of the RectangleShape class.

Namespace:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New

public RectangleShape()

public:
RectangleShape()

new : unit -> RectangleShape

public function RectangleShape()

Remarks

A RectangleShape control cannot be displayed directly on a form or container control; it must be contained in a ShapeContainer object. After you initialize a RectangleShape, you will have to set its Parent property either to an existing ShapeContainer or to a new instance of ShapeContainer.

Examples

The following example creates a ShapeContainer and a RectangleShape, adds them to a form, and displays a rectangle.

Private Sub DrawRectangle()
    Dim canvas As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
    Dim rect1 As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape
    ' Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
    canvas.Parent = Me 
    ' Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the RectangleShape.
    rect1.Parent = canvas
    ' Set the location and size of the rectangle.
    rect1.Left = 10
    rect1.Top = 10
    rect1.Width = 300
    rect1.Height = 100
End Sub

private void DrawRectangle()
{
    Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer canvas = 
        new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer();
    Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape rect1 = 
        new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape();
    // Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
    canvas.Parent = this;
    // Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the RectangleShape.
    rect1.Parent = canvas;
    // Set the location and size of the rectangle.
    rect1.Left = 10;
    rect1.Top = 10;
    rect1.Width = 300;
    rect1.Height = 100;
}
