I've got an inherited control where I want the user to be able to specify a
color property. Using that color, I'm drawing a line

private m_UserDefinedColor as Color

.....

Dim g as Graphics=this.CreateGraphics
Dim myPen as Pen = new Pen(m_UserDefinedColor)
g.DrawLine(myPen, X1, Y, X2 - 1, Y)

Then I want to draw a triangle filled with the same color. I set the point
and do:

g.FillPolygon(Brushes.Red, leftTriangle);

Because I can't figure out how to create a Brush that has the userdefined
color.

It's not possible to do: myBrush as Brush = new Brush(m_UserDefinedColor)

How do you specify the Brush Color in this case?

Cheers,

Johnny J.

Click to expand...

IIRC you have to use one of the "other" brush objects (Solid,
Gradient, etc)

Something like:

Dim b As Brush = New SolidBrush(m_UserDefinedColor)

Thanks,
