Initializes a new instance of the RectangleShape class, specifying its location and size.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    left As Integer, _
    top As Integer, _
    width As Integer, _
    height As Integer _
)

public RectangleShape(
    int left,
    int top,
    int width,
    int height
)

public:
RectangleShape(
    int left, 
    int top, 
    int width, 
    int height
)

new : 
        left:int * 
        top:int * 
        width:int * 
        height:int -> RectangleShape

public function RectangleShape(
    left : int, 
    top : int, 
    width : int, 
    height : int
)

Parameters

• left
  Type: System.Int32

• top
  Type: System.Int32

• width
  Type: System.Int32
  An Integer representing the width (in pixels) of the RectangleShape.

• height
  Type: System.Int32
  An Integer representing the height (in pixels) of the 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 90 pixel by 90 pixel square.

Private Sub DrawSquare()
    Dim canvas As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
    ' Declare a RectangleShape and set the location and size.
    Dim rect1 As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.
        RectangleShape(15, 15, 105, 105)
    ' Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
    canvas.Parent = Me
    ' Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the RectangleShape.
    rect1.Parent = canvas
End Sub

private void DrawSquare()
{
    Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer canvas = 
        new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer();
    // Declare a RectangleShape and set the location and size.
    Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape rect1 = 
        new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.RectangleShape(15, 15, 105, 105);
    // Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
    canvas.Parent = this;
    // Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the RectangleShape.
    rect1.Parent = canvas;
}
