Examples

The following code example uses the DrawArrowButton method in a custom control's OnPaint method to draw a scroll arrow in the state determined by the location of the mouse pointer. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ScrollBarRenderer class.

    // Draw the scroll bar in its normal state.
protected:
    virtual void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs^ e) override
    {
        __super::OnPaint(e);

        // Visual styles are not enabled.
        if (!ScrollBarRenderer::IsSupported)
        {
            this->Parent->Text = "CustomScrollBar Disabled";
            return;
        }

        this->Parent->Text = "CustomScrollBar Enabled";

        // Draw the scroll bar track.
        ScrollBarRenderer::DrawRightHorizontalTrack(e->Graphics,
            ClientRectangle, ScrollBarState::Normal);

        // Draw the thumb and thumb grip in the current state.
        ScrollBarRenderer::DrawHorizontalThumb(e->Graphics,
            thumbRectangle, thumbState);
        ScrollBarRenderer::DrawHorizontalThumbGrip(e->Graphics,
            thumbRectangle, thumbState);

        // Draw the scroll arrows in the current state.
        ScrollBarRenderer::DrawArrowButton(e->Graphics,
            leftArrowRectangle, leftButtonState);
        ScrollBarRenderer::DrawArrowButton(e->Graphics,
            rightArrowRectangle, rightButtonState);

        // Draw a highlighted rectangle in the left side of the scroll
        // bar track if the user has clicked between the left arrow
        // and thumb.

            ScrollBarRenderer::DrawLeftHorizontalTrack(e->Graphics,
                clickedBarRectangle, ScrollBarState::Pressed);
        }

        // bar track if the user has clicked between the right arrow
        // and thumb.
