Hi, I have a problem. I am writing a custom control. My control inherits from Windows.Forms.Control, and I'm trying to override the OnPaint method. The problem is rather strange, because it only works if I include one control in my form, if I add another control and the second does not get a draw, however, the OnPaint method is called for all the controls. So I want all my user controls to get a draw, not just my code:
If you run the code, you will see that only one red rectangle appears on the screen.
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
myControl one = new myControl(0, 0);
myControl two = new myControl(100, 0);
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Controls.Add(one);
Controls.Add(two);
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
public class myControl:Control
{
public myControl(int x, int y)
{
Location = new Point(x, y);
Size = new Size(100, 20);
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Red);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(myPen, new Rectangle(Location, new Size(Size.Width - 1, Size.Height - 1)));
}
}
