resize hotspots on control

[yeller2]

Hello,

I'd like to display hotspots on a control when it is clicked during runtime. The hotspots should look like the resize hotspots you see when you click on a control in the design window - can this be done?

Idea!

So, when a user clicks on a control at runtime - I can temporarily increase the size of the control and draw a rectangle around the border that makes it look like the control is highlighted. Not sure yet how to get the hotspot boxes in there - but I could always use the resize cursor images that .net already supplies.

Does anyone know of a good Pen design that would achieve a selected look around the border?

By hotspots do you mean the drag nodes? those little rects on corners? Check on the ControlPaint class.

hope this helps.

Is there any particular Draw method you had in mind - there doesn't appear to be one that does what I require out of the box.

After some investigation, I found that DrawGrabHandle was the method I needed.

Thanks
