Syntax

'Declaração
Public Sub New ( _
    x1 As Integer, _
    y1 As Integer, _

public function LineShape(
    x1 : int, 
    y1 : int, 
    x2 : int, 
    y2 : int
)

Parameters

  • x1
    Type: System.Int32
    The X (horizontal) coordinate of the starting point of the line.
  • y1
    Type: System.Int32
    The Y (vertical) coordinate of the starting point of the line.
  • x2
    Type: System.Int32
    The X (horizontal) coordinate of the ending point of the line.
  • y2
    Type: System.Int32
    The Y (vertical) coordinate of the ending point of the line.

Remarks

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

Examples

The following example initializes a ShapeContainer and a LineShape, sets the Parent property of the LineShape to the ShapeContainer, and displays a diagonal line with the specified coordinates.

Dim canvas As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
Dim line1 As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape(0,
    0, 1000, 1000)
' Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
canvas.Parent = Me
' Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the LineShape.
line1.Parent = canvas
Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer canvas = 
    new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer();
Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape line1 = 
    new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
// Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
canvas.Parent = this;
// Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the LineShape.
line1.Parent = canvas;
