Rounded edges in picturebox C#
How to round edges in picturebox control. I Want to get angles like ellipse have but i dont know how to do it. I Use C#. Thanks!
putting 1 Picture box on the form and write this code also you can change the the minus number beside of Width and Height to get best result
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath gp = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath();
gp.AddEllipse(0, 0, pictureBox1.Width - 3, pictureBox1.Height - 3);
Region rg = new Region(gp);
pictureBox1.Region = rg;
Yes, no problem, you can give a control an arbitrary shape with its Region property. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class OvalPictureBox : PictureBox {
public OvalPictureBox() {
this.BackColor = Color.DarkGray;
}
protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e) {
base.OnResize(e);
using (var gp = new GraphicsPath()) {
gp.AddEllipse(new Rectangle(0, 0, this.Width-1, this.Height-1));
this.Region = new Region(gp);
}
}
}
Round edges as in round corners?
If so check out http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winforms/thread/603084bb-1aae-45d1-84ae-8544386d58fd
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(0, 0, pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath gp = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath();
int d = 50;
gp.AddArc(r.X, r.Y, d, d, 180, 90);
gp.AddArc(r.X + r.Width - d, r.Y, d, d, 270, 90);
gp.AddArc(r.X + r.Width - d, r.Y + r.Height - d, d, d, 0, 90);
gp.AddArc(r.X, r.Y + r.Height - d, d, d, 90, 90);
pictureBox1.Region = new Region(gp);
Thank you, Hans. But I also need a smooth look. I did some research on this subject, but I could not find a solution. Then I tried to do it myself and found the solution below. Maybe someone else needs it.
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
using (GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath())
{
gp.AddEllipse(0, 0, this.Width - 1, this.Height - 1);
Region = new Region(gp);
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(new Pen(new SolidBrush(this.BackColor), 1), 0, 0, this.Width - 1, this.Height - 1);
}
}
