How to Draw a Border Around a Filled GraphicsPath

Hi all

I have a user control that I draw onto using a GraphicsPath. The GP is
non-rectangular. I get a region from the GP and assign it to the control's
region. I then want to put a border round the region. Can anyone tell me how
to do this?

The purpose of the exercise is to create several controls, each of different
shapes, and drag-and-drop them onto a form. They will then be positioned
with the mouse to form a pattern. I seem to be able to fill the shape, but
not put a border round it.

Any help is appreciated. I have Googled extensively but all I can find is
other people trying to do a similar thing without an answer.

TIA

Have you visited the GDI+ FAQ?

Extensive googling should at least turn that up.

Try also going to the beginners guide to GDI+ which contains loads of
info for beginners.

Use FillPath and DrawPath with the appropriate brush and pen to do theae
operations.

This works fine on its own.

The problem occurs when I use my GraphicsPath to create a region and assign
it to the region of the user control. I get a filled region, as desired, but
DrawPath does not put a border around it.
