System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint.DrawSelectionFrame Method

Draws a standard selection frame in the specified state, on the specified graphics surface, with the specified inner and outer dimensions, and with the specified background color.

Syntax

public static void DrawSelectionFrame (System.Drawing.Graphics graphics, bool active, System.Drawing.Rectangle outsideRect, System.Drawing.Rectangle insideRect, System.Drawing.Color backColor)

Parameters

graphics
The System.Drawing.Graphics to draw on.
active
true to draw the selection frame in an active state; otherwise, false.
outsideRect
The System.Drawing.Rectangle that represents the outer boundary of the selection frame.
insideRect
The System.Drawing.Rectangle that represents the inner boundary of the selection frame.
backColor
The System.Drawing.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.
