Parameters

graphics

Graphics

The Graphics to draw on.

active

Boolean

true to draw the selection frame in an active state; otherwise, false.

outsideRect

Rectangle

The Rectangle that represents the outer boundary of the selection frame.

insideRect

Rectangle

The Rectangle that represents the inner boundary of the selection frame.

backColor

The Color of the background behind the frame.

Remarks

A selection frame is a frame that is drawn around a selected component at design time.

The backColor parameter is used to calculate the fill color of the frame so that it is always visible against the background.

If the active parameter is set to true, the selection frame is drawn as a set of hatch marks indicating that the component has been activated; otherwise, the selection frame is drawn with a dotted pattern or nothing, depending on the implementation.
