Fill a Rectangle in Windows Application C#

ayesha ahmad

hi,

I have made a rectangle on my windows form using Rectangle Class.
Problem is that its width is 200 and height is 100.
I only want to fill the 4th part of rectangle means 50px out of total width 200px with brown colour.

System.Drawing.SolidBrush myBrush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(Color.Brown);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 100);
System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
formGraphics.FillRectangle(myBrush, rec);

Any help will be highly appericated

Thanks

Try:

System.Drawing.SolidBrush myBrush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(Color.Brown);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 100);
System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
Rectangle rec2 = new Rectangle(100, 50, 100, 50);
formGraphics.Clip = new Region(rec2);
formGraphics.FillRectangle(myBrush, rec);

Hi,
Try like this

Color borderColor = Color.Brown;
ButtonBorderStyle borderStyle = ButtonBorderStyle.Solid;
int borderWidth = 3;
ControlPaint.DrawBorder(formGraphics,borderRectangle,borderColor,borderWidth,
borderStyle,borderColor,borderWidth,borderStyle,borderColor,borderWidth,borderStyle,
borderColor,borderWidth,borderStyle);

Having drawn your rectangle in some background color, you then need to overlay it with a second rectangle of the appropriate size and color:

Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 100);
Rectangle rec2 = new Rectangle(100, 50, 100, 50);
System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
formGraphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Yellow, rec); // say
formGraphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Brown, rec2);

System.Drawing.SolidBrush myBrush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.Red);
System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
formGraphics.FillRectangle(myBrush, new Rectangle(0,0,200,300));
myBrush.Dispose();
formGraphics.Dispose();
