Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ContentRectangle property for custom rendering. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ToolStripItem class.

// This utility method computes the layout of the 
// RolloverItem control's image area and the text area.
// For brevity, only the following settings are 
// supported:
//
// ToolStripTextDirection.Horizontal
// TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText 
// TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText
// 
// It would not be difficult to support vertical text
// directions and other image/text relationships.
private void ComputeImageAndTextLayout()
{
    Rectangle cr = base.ContentRectangle;
    Image img = base.Owner.ImageList.Images[base.ImageKey];

    // Compute the center of the item's ContentRectangle.
    int centerY = (cr.Height - img.Height) / 2;

    // Find the dimensions of the image and the text 
    // areas of the item. The text occupies the space 
    // not filled by the image. 
    if (base.TextImageRelation == TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText &&
        base.TextDirection == ToolStripTextDirection.Horizontal)
