TLabelCanvas (Delphi)

Description

The following code uses ClientRect to find and draw a line from the upper left to the lower right of the current control. Select a TControl in the ListBox list. This example assumes that the current object is a descendant of TControl and has a public Canvas property.

Code

  if (ListBox1.Items.Objects[Index] is TLabel) then
  begin
    myLabel:= (ListBox1.Items.Objects[Index] as TLabel);
    with myLabel.ClientRect do
    begin // Make sure you are using the canvas of the TControl, and not the from's canvas.
      myLabel.Canvas.MoveTo(Left, Top);
      myLabel.Canvas.LineTo(Right, Bottom);
    end;
  myLabel:= nil;
  end;
