Example

This example shows the minimum requirements for using the DrawFrame method to draw a frame with a palette.

Visual Basic Copy Code
Public Sub DrawFrame(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal destRect As Rectangle)
    Dim processor As SpecialEffectsProcessor = New SpecialEffectsProcessor()
    processor.DrawFrame(g, destRect, SpecialEffectsFrameStyleFlags.OuterRaised, 2, Color.Red, 2, Color.FromArgb(100, 100, 100), Color.Black, 2, Color.Gray, Color.Yellow) ' inner band highlight color
End Sub
C# Copy Code
public void DrawFrame(Graphics g, Rectangle destRect) 

   SpecialEffectsProcessor processor = new SpecialEffectsProcessor(); 
   processor.DrawFrame(g, 
                       destRect, /* Destination rectangle */ 
                       SpecialEffectsFrameStyleFlags.OuterRaised, /* outer band raised */ 
                       2, /* middle band width*/ 
                       Color.Red, /* middle band color */ 
                       2, /* inner band width*/ 
                       Color.FromArgb(100, 100, 100), /* inner band shadow color */ 
                       Color.Black, /* inner band highlight color */ 
                       2, /* outer band width*/ 
                       Color.Gray, /* inner band shadow color */ 
                       Color.Yellow); /* inner band highlight color */
