Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub Scale ( _
    factor As SizeF _
)

public abstract void Scale(
    SizeF factor
)

public:
virtual void Scale(
    SizeF factor
) abstract

abstract Scale : 
        factor:SizeF -> unit 

public abstract function Scale(
    factor : SizeF
)

Parameters

• factor
  Type: System.Drawing.SizeF
  A SizeF that contains the horizontal and vertical scaling factors.

Remarks

The Scale method scales the control by the specified scaling factor. This makes it larger or smaller by a percentage of its current size.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Scale method to scale an OvalShape control. This example requires that you have an OvalShape control named OvalShape1 on a form.

Private Sub OvalShape1_Click() Handles OvalShape1.Click
    Dim state As Boolean
    If state = False Then
        OvalShape1.Scale(New SizeF(2, 3))
        state = True
    Else
        OvalShape1.Scale(New SizeF(0.5, 0.333))
        state = False
    End If
End Sub

private void ovalShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    bool state = true;
    if (state == false)
    {
        ovalShape1.Scale(new SizeF(2, 3));
        state = true;
    }
    else
    {
        ovalShape1.Scale(new SizeF((float)0.5, ((float)0.333)));
        state = false;
    }
}
