Drawing Lines On A Label

[jtstanish]

:confused: How Can I Draw a Line On Top of a Label Control? :confused:

[Iceplug]

Why such big text?

You create a Graphics object from the label, as in

GFX = yourlabel.CreateGraphics()

And then, you draw it, like

GFX.DrawLine(0, 0, yourlabel.width, yourlabel.height)

'Draws a line going from the top left to the bottom right of the label. :)

Sorry about the big text ... I was experimenting ...

Thank You for your advice ...

Graphics Question

 

Works great iceplug! Just tried it, never worked with graphics before... One question though, after I draw the line or fill a new backround, how do I return the label to it's original state?

[ThePentiumGuy]

You can:

DIspose the graphics object

or use an If statement to NOT draw the line ... for example

If IwantToDrawTheLine Then

e.graphics.drawline(......)

End If

 

jtstantish - also you can go in to the label's Paint event and draw the line:

e.graphics.DrawLine(.....)

 

and use Label1.Invalidate if the position of the line ever changes and you want to update it.
