virtual bool HitTest(
    int x,
    int y
) override

override HitTest : 
        x:int *
        y:int -> bool

Public Overrides Function HitTest (
    x As Integer,
    y As Integer
) As Boolean

Parameters

x
Type: System.Int32

The horizontal screen coordinate.

y
Type: System.Int32

The vertical screen coordinate.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean

true if the LineShape control is located at the specified coordinates; otherwise false.

Remarks

The X and Y parameters represent the current mouse coordinates relative to the screen, not to the LineShape control container.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the HitTest method of the LineShape control to determine whether the pointer is positioned over the control when the SPACEBAR is pressed.

private void LineHitTestForm_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, 
    System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Space)
    {
        int px;
        int py;
        bool hit;
        string result;
        px = LineHitTestForm.MousePosition.X;
        py = LineHitTestForm.MousePosition.Y;
        hit = lineShape1.HitTest(px, py);
        result = hit.ToString();
        MessageBox.Show(result);
    }
}

Private Sub LineHitTestForm_PreviewKeyDown(
    ByVal sender As Object, 
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs
  ) Handles Me.PreviewKeyDown

    If e.KeyCode = Keys.Space Then
        Dim px As Integer
        Dim py As Integer
        Dim hit As Boolean
        px = LineHitTestForm.MousePosition.X
        py = LineHitTestForm.MousePosition.Y
        hit = LineShape1.HitTest(px, py)
        MsgBox(CStr(hit))
    End If
End Sub
