Hello Rainer,
I can reproduce this problem. When specify a TransparencyKey for the form,
the form become a layered window, it seems that
ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame() method draws figures beneath the
layered
window. Anyway, you can call the Rectangle() API to draw the rubber band
on
the form, and call ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame() method to draw
rubber
band outside the form.
For example:
private void MyDrawReversibleRectangle(Point p1, Point p2)
{
Rectangle rc = new Rectangle();
GDI32 gdi = new GDI32();
gdi.DrawRectangle(this.CreateGraphics(), p1, p2);
// Convert the points to screen coordinates.
p1 = PointToScreen(p1);
p2 = PointToScreen(p2);
// Normalize the rectangle.
if (p1.X < p2.X)
{
rc.X = p1.X;
rc.Width = p2.X - p1.X;
}
else
{
rc.X = p2.X;
rc.Width = p1.X - p2.X;
}
if (p1.Y < p2.Y)
{
rc.Y = p1.Y;
rc.Height = p2.Y - p1.Y;
}
else
{
rc.Y = p2.Y;
rc.Height = p1.Y - p2.Y;
}
// Draw the reversible frame.
ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame(rc,
Color.Black, FrameStyle.Thick);
}
