1. CST238 Week 5 Questions / Concerns? Announcements – HW#1 due (Project ideas) – Check-off Take Home lab#4 Recap New topics – Drawing Coming up: – GUI Bloopers presentations start next Monday (#1&#2) Test#1 Take Home Lab#5

2. Recap Timer – Tick event DateTime – Get current date / time MDI applications – Main form – Child form (set its MDIparent to main form)

5. Drawing You need the Graphics class from System.Drawing namespace. Two ways to get a Graphics object – Create a new that’s associated with the form or control – Grab the Graphics object in the Paint event’s PaintEventArgs

6. Drawing There are 2 types of draw: – Immediate Draw Not updated after form resize, covered or uncovered. – Redraw Updated each time a form is updated. This is done through Paint event. This event can be triggered using Invalidate

7. Drawing Get Graphics object: – Create a Graphics object for the form or control Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics(); Graphics g = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics(); – void DrawingForm_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics g = e.Graphics;

8. Drawing Classes that you might need: – Color – Brushes – Pens Read Chapter 5, 6 & 7 in the Chris Sells book as reference on different shapes to draw and different pens and brushes to use.

10. Drawing Drawing procedure: 1.Obtain a Graphics object. 2.Obtain a tool to use on the Graphics object. - pen, brushes, fonts, etc. 3.Call methods on the Graphics object to draw your picture. 4.Trigger redraw is necessary by Invalidate the form or control

11. Methods of the Graphics class Draw methods – DrawLine, DrawArc, DrawImage, DrawEllipse, DrawRectangle Fill methods – FillEllipse, FillPolygon, FillRectangle

12. Drawing Drawing directly on the form – Know the size of the form Drawing on one of the controls – Panel – PictureBox – Use the Width and Height for the control
