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 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
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);
    }
}
