Syntax

'Declaration
<BrowsableAttribute(True)> _
Public Property SelectionColor As Color

[BrowsableAttribute(true)]
public Color SelectionColor { get; set; }

[BrowsableAttribute(true)]
public:
property Color SelectionColor {
    Color get ();
    void set (Color value);
}

[<BrowsableAttribute(true)>]
member SelectionColor : Color with get, set

function get SelectionColor () : Color 
function set SelectionColor (value : Color)

Property Value

Type: System.Drawing.Color
A Color that represents the color of the focus rectangle when a shape is selected at run time. The default is Highlight.

Remarks

The SelectionColor property can be used to change the color of the focus rectangle that is displayed when a LineShape, OvalShape, or RectangleShape control is selected at run time. If the CanFocus or CanSelect properties are set to false, this property is ignored.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the SelectionColor property to change the color of the focus rectangle depending on the BackColor property of the form. This example requires that you have a RectangleShape control named RectangleShape1 on a form.

Private Sub RectangleShape1_GotFocus() Handles RectangleShape1.GotFocus
    ' If SelectionColor is the same as the form's BackColor. 
    If RectangleShape1.SelectionColor = Me.BackColor Then 
        ' Change the SelectionColor.
        RectangleShape1.SelectionColor = Color.Red
    Else 
        ' Use the default SelectionColor.
        RectangleShape1.SelectionColor = SystemColors.Highlight
    End If 
End Sub

private void rectangleShape1_GotFocus(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // If SelectionColor is the same as the form's BackColor. 
    if (rectangleShape1.SelectionColor == this.BackColor)
    // Change the SelectionColor.
    {
        rectangleShape1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
    }
    else
    {
        // Use the default SelectionColor.
        rectangleShape1.SelectionColor = SystemColors.Highlight;
    }
}
