Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following action:

• Creates a solid blue brush.

• Creates a rectangle.

• Creates a rectangular region.

• Fills the rectangular region on the screen.

public:
   void FillRegionRectangle( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create solid brush.
      SolidBrush^ blueBrush = gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Blue );

      // Create rectangle for region.
      Rectangle fillRect = Rectangle(100,100,200,200);

      // Create region for fill.
      System::Drawing::Region^ fillRegion = gcnew System::Drawing::Region( fillRect );

      // Fill region to screen.
      e->Graphics->FillRegion( blueBrush, fillRegion );
   }

private void FillRegionRectangle(PaintEventArgs e)
{

    // Create solid brush.
    SolidBrush blueBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Blue);

    // Create rectangle for region.
    Rectangle fillRect = new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200);

    // Create region for fill.
    Region fillRegion = new Region(fillRect);

    // Fill region to screen.
    e.Graphics.FillRegion(blueBrush, fillRegion);
}

Private Sub FillRegionRectangle(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create solid brush.
    Dim blueBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Blue)

    ' Create rectangle for region.
    Dim fillRect As New Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200)

    ' Create region for fill.
    Dim fillRegion As New [Region](fillRect)

    ' Fill region to screen.
    e.Graphics.FillRegion(blueBrush, fillRegion)
End Sub

Remarks

A Region is composed of rectangles and paths. If the region is not closed, an additional segment is added from the last point to the first point to close it.
