Provides data for the PaintValue method.

Namespace:  System.Drawing.Design
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
Public Class PaintValueEventArgs _
    Inherits EventArgs
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As PaintValueEventArgs
C#
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
public class PaintValueEventArgs : EventArgs
Visual C++
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
public ref class PaintValueEventArgs : public EventArgs
J#
/** @attribute PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name = "FullTrust") */
/** @attribute PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name = "FullTrust") */
public class PaintValueEventArgs extends EventArgs
JScript
public class PaintValueEventArgs extends EventArgs

PaintValueEventArgs provides all the information needed for a UITypeEditor to paint within an area based on the value of the specified object, including the Rectangle in which the drawing should be done and the Graphics object with which the drawing should be done.

The following code example method returns a PaintValueEventArgs that provides the data needed to paint a representation of the value of an object within a given area:

Visual Basic
Public Function CreatePaintValueEventArgs(ByVal context As System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext, ByVal value As Object, ByVal graphics As Graphics, ByVal bounds As Rectangle) As PaintValueEventArgs
    Dim e As New PaintValueEventArgs(context, value, graphics, bounds)
    ' The context of the paint value event         e.Context
    ' The object representing the value to paint   e.Value
    ' The graphics to use to paint                 e.Graphics
    ' The rectangle in which to paint              e.Bounds                       
    Return e
End Function
C#
public PaintValueEventArgs CreatePaintValueEventArgs(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, object value, Graphics graphics, Rectangle bounds)
{
    PaintValueEventArgs e = new PaintValueEventArgs(context, value, graphics, bounds);
    // The context of the paint value event         e.Context
    // The object representing the value to paint   e.Value
    // The graphics to use to paint                 e.Graphics
    // The rectangle in which to paint              e.Bounds                       
    return e;
}
Visual C++
PaintValueEventArgs^ CreatePaintValueEventArgs( System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, Object^ value, Graphics^ graphics, Rectangle bounds )
{
   PaintValueEventArgs^ e = gcnew PaintValueEventArgs( context, value, graphics, bounds );
   // The context of the paint value event         e.Context
   // The Object representing the value to paint   e.Value
   // The graphics to use to paint                 e.Graphics
   // The rectangle in which to paint              e.Bounds
   return e;
}
J#
public PaintValueEventArgs CreatePaintValueEventArgs(System.ComponentModel.
    ITypeDescriptorContext context, Object value, Graphics graphics,
    Rectangle bounds)
{
    PaintValueEventArgs e = new PaintValueEventArgs(context, value, 
        graphics, bounds);
    // The context of the paint value event         e.Context
    // The object representing the value to paint   e.Value
    // The graphics to use to paint                 e.Graphics
    // The rectangle in which to paint              e.Bounds                       
    return e;
