Examples

The following example shows how to use the DisplayRectangle method to determine whether two shapes overlap. This example requires that you have two OvalShape controls named OvalShape1 and OvalShape2 on a form. For best results, position the controls so that they overlap.

private void ovalShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Get the DisplayRectangle for each OvalShape.
    Rectangle rect1 = ovalShape1.DisplayRectangle;
    Rectangle rect2 = ovalShape2.DisplayRectangle;
    // If the DisplayRectangles intersect, move OvalShape2.
    if (rect1.IntersectsWith(rect2))
    {
        ovalShape2.SetBounds(rect1.Right, rect1.Bottom, rect2.Width, rect2.Height);
    }
}

Private Sub OvalShape1_Click() Handles OvalShape1.Click
    ' Get the DisplayRectangle for each OvalShape.
    Dim rect1 As Rectangle = OvalShape1.DisplayRectangle
    Dim rect2 As Rectangle = OvalShape2.DisplayRectangle
    ' If the DisplayRectangles intersect, move OvalShape2.
    If rect1.IntersectsWith(rect2) Then
        OvalShape2.SetBounds(rect1.Right, rect1.Bottom, 
          rect2.Width, rect2.Height)
    End If
End Sub
