Adding Graphic Capabilities

Go Up to Creating a graphic component Index

Once you have declared your graphic component and published any inherited properties you want to make available, you can add the graphic capabilities that distinguish your component. You have two tasks to perform when creating a graphic control:

1. Determining What to Draw.
2. Drawing the Component Image.

In addition, for the shape control example, you will add some properties that enable application developers to customize the appearance of the shape at design time.
