GDI+ help

[r9]

Can someone show me how to draw a raised rectangle on a form using GDI+ ? When the user click the rectangle, then it must be lower. KeyDown = lower; KeyUp = raised; Thanks

I need something like this: System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = null; System.Drawing.Pen myPen; formGraphics = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics(); myPen = new System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Black,1); formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 5, 5, 105, 5); formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 15, 35, 95, 35); formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 5, 5, 15, 35); formGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 105, 5, 95, 35); SolidBrush darkGrayBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Gray); Point point1 = new Point(5, 5); Point point2 = new Point(105, 5); Point point3 = new Point(15, 35); Point point4 = new Point(95, 35); Point point5 = new Point(5, 5); Point point6 = new Point(15, 35); Point point7 = new Point(105, 5); Point point8 = new Point(95, 35); Point[] curvePoints = new Point[] { point1, point2, point3, point4, point5, point6, point7, point8 }; formGraphics.FillPolygon(darkGrayBrush, curvePoints); but just raised, lower and clickable. How?

So you need a rounded-edge rectangle? Right now I have the code for a raised, sunken, etched, or bump border for a rectangle, but not for a rounded-edge rectangle.

If you just need sunken and raised borders, you can use .NET's built-in implementation - System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawBorder:

But the ControlPaint.DrawBorder method doesn't do etched and bump borders, where as the code below does:

public enum BorderStyle
{
Raised,Sunken,Etched,Bump
};

/////THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE IN A CLASS:

public static void DrawBorder(Graphics g,
Rectangle rect,
BorderStyle border,
Color color)
{
BorderStyle inner=BorderStyle.Raised;
BorderStyle outer=BorderStyle.Raised;
switch(border)
{
case BorderStyle.Raised:
inner=BorderStyle.Raised;
outer=BorderStyle.Raised;
break;
case BorderStyle.Sunken:
inner=BorderStyle.Sunken;
outer=BorderStyle.Sunken;
break;
case BorderStyle.Etched:
inner=BorderStyle.Raised;
outer=BorderStyle.Sunken;
break;
case BorderStyle.Bump:
inner=BorderStyle.Sunken;
outer=BorderStyle.Raised;
break;
}
DrawThinBorder(g,rect,outer,color,inner==outer);
rect.Offset(1,1);
rect.Width-=2;rect.Height-=2;
DrawThinBorder(g,rect,inner,color,false);
}

public static void DrawThinBorder(Graphics g,
Rectangle rect,
BorderStyle border,
Color color)
{DrawThinBorder(g,rect,border,color,false);}

public static void DrawThinBorder(Graphics g,
Rectangle rect,
BorderStyle border,
Color color,
bool outer)
{
if(border==BorderStyle.Raised)
{
DrawUpperCorner(g,rect,new Pen((outer?ColorHelper.LightenColor(color,1):color)));
DrawLowerCorner(g,rect,new Pen(ColorHelper.DarkenColor(color,(outer?3:1))));
}else
{
DrawUpperCorner(g,rect,new Pen(ColorHelper.DarkenColor(color,(outer?1:2))));
DrawLowerCorner(g,rect,new Pen((outer?ColorHelper.LightenColor(color,1):color)));

 }

}

public static void DrawUpperCorner(Graphics g, Rectangle rect, Pen pen)
{
g.DrawLine(pen,rect.X, rect.Y,rect.X,rect.Y+rect.Height);
g.DrawLine(pen,rect.X, rect.Y,rect.X+rect.Width,rect.Y);
}
public s
