Examples

The following code example is part of a larger example provided for the BehaviorService class.

public:
    virtual property Rectangle Bounds
    {
        Rectangle get() override
        {
            // Create a glyph that is 10x10 and sitting
            // in the middle of the control.  Glyph coordinates
            // are in adorner window coordinates, so we must map
            // using the behavior service.
            Point edge = behavior->ControlToAdornerWindow(control);
            Size size = control->Size;
            Point center = Point(edge.X + (size.Width / 2),
                edge.Y + (size.Height / 2));

            Rectangle bounds = Rectangle(center.X - 5,
                center.Y - 5, 10, 10);

            return bounds;
        }
    }

public override Rectangle Bounds
{
    get
    {
        // Create a glyph that is 10x10 and sitting
        // in the middle of the control.  Glyph coordinates
        // are in adorner window coordinates, so we must map
        // using the behavior service.
        Point edge = behaviorSvc.ControlToAdornerWindow(control);
        Size size = control.Size;
        Point center = new Point(edge.X + (size.Width / 2), 
            edge.Y + (size.Height / 2));

        Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(
            center.X - 5,
            center.Y - 5,
            10,
            10);

        return bounds;
    }
}
