Properties for OnRender custom object

[DAYTRADERPROFESIONAL]

HI,

Anyone Knows if with a custom OnRender object, like a rectangle, is possible to add properties like the type of borderline (dash, dotted...), the size of borderline also, etc...?

Thank you in advance

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
{
// implicitly recreate and dispose of brush on each render pass
using (SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush dxBrush = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush(RenderTarget, SharpDX.Color.Blue))
{
RenderTarget.FillRectangle(new SharpDX.RectangleF(ChartPanel.X, ChartPanel.Y, ChartPanel.W, ChartPanel.H), dxBrush);
}
}

Hello DAYTRADERPROFESIONAL,

Thanks for posting.

Emma1's linked post and information provided will be very beneficial.

I may recommend checking the available overloads for your drawing routines, and then checking the available parameters and then how those objects are built and what properties exist within those objects. For example, you could observe how a StrokeStyle is created which would then describe a dotted line.

public void DrawRectangle(SharpDX.Direct2D1.RenderTarget renderTarget, SharpDX.RectangleF rect, SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush brush, float strokeWidth, DashStyleHelper dashStyle)
{
    // Create StrokeStyleProperties
    SharpDX.Direct2D1.StrokeStyleProperties ssProps = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.StrokeStyleProperties();

    switch (dashStyle)
    {
        case DashStyleHelper.Dash:             ssProps.DashStyle = SharpDX.Direct2D1.DashStyle.Dash;         break;
        case DashStyleHelper.DashDot:         ssProps.DashStyle = SharpDX.Direct2D1.DashStyle.DashDot;     break;
        case DashStyleHelper.DashDotDot:    ssProps.DashStyle = SharpDX.Direct2D1.DashStyle.DashDotDot;    break;
        case DashStyleHelper.Dot:            ssProps.DashStyle = SharpDX.Direct2D1.DashStyle.Dot;        break;
        case DashStyleHelper.Solid:            ssProps.DashStyle = SharpDX.Direct2D1.DashStyle.Solid;        break;
        default:                             ssProps.DashStyle = SharpDX.Direct2D1.DashStyle.Solid;        break;
    }

    // Create StrokeStyle from StrokeStyleProperties
    SharpDX.Direct2D1.StrokeStyle strokeStyle = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.StrokeStyle(Core.Globals.D2DFactory, ssProps);
    renderTarget.DrawRectangle(rect, brush, strokeWidth, strokeStyle);
}

If you would like to draw a filled rectangle with a border, this would involve a FillRectangle call and a DrawRectangle call.
