Setting SolidBrush color with a ColorDialog

Hi friend,


The reason is though you set the color to the brush, you don't have access to that brush outside button click event.

So change your code as follows.


        SolidBrush myBrush;//Define the varaible outside the methods.
       
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            myBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);//You set a default color as black.
           
            pictureBox1.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(f1_paint);//Your picture box paint method

            //You can write your other code here, if you want.
        }

        private void f1_paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            System.Drawing.Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
            formGraphics.FillEllipse(myBrush, 20, 20, 40, 40);
            //You can write other drawing code as you like.
            //But use 'myBrush ' to draw.
            
        }


        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {          

            ColorDialog clrdlg = new ColorDialog();

            if (clrdlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {

                myBrush = new SolidBrush(clrdlg.Color);
                pictureBox1.Refresh();
            }
        }

Hi Kirtan

Thaks very much for replying to my question with the code.  I added this code but unfortunately it didn't work. when I click on the button, the color dialog window opens, i select a new color for the brush, paint on the grid again but the color has not changed.  I also tried this code, but it didnt work.

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SolidBrush myBrush; ColorDialog clrdlg = new ColorDialog(); if (clrdlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { myBrush = new SolidBrush(clrdlg.Color); } }

I used myBrush as this is what I am using earlier in the code as my brush object. I also tried this code but it didn't work.

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { SolidBrush myBrush; ColorDialog clrdlg = new ColorDialog(); if (clrdlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { myBrush = new SolidBrush(clrdlg.Color); pictureBox1.Refresh(); } }

Do you know why this isn't working?  Do you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?  Thanks for your time.

Kind regards
