Rectangle in a pictureBox

[emferrari]

Hi all

I have a picturebox which I will have a image loaded to it and some
text fields with coordinates. I am drawing a rectangle according to the
coordinates in the text fields.

Rectangle r = new Rectangle(int.Parse(this.txt_Left.Text),
int.Parse(this.txt_Top.Text), ControlWidth, ControlHeight);
pictureBox2.CreateGraphics().DrawRectangle(new Pen(Color.Red, 1), r);

This is working fine, draw the red rectangle. But I want to clear the
rectangle when I change the coordinates. Does somebody knows how to do
that?

Thanks

Why don't you use a class inherited from Control and override OnPaint to
do all the drawing? You can use the DrawImage function to draw the image
that the PictureBox draws right now. And use DrawRectable as above.
This will also make sure that your coordinate rectangle will get cleared
every time OnPaint gets called.

I forgot.. Pens should be disposed (they consume GDI handles):

using (Pen pen = new Pen(whatever)) {
graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, ...);
}

All right. I'll give a shot and let you know!

Thanks!
