Yoyo experts!
I have several progressbars on my Windowsform (NOT WPF), and I would like to use different colors for each one.
How can I do this? I've googled , and found that I have to create my own control. But I have no clue , how to do this. Any idea? For example progressBar1 green, progressbar2 red.
Edit: ohh, I would like to solve this, without removing the Application.EnableVisualStyles();
line, because it will screw my form looking up :/
Yes, create your own. A rough draft to get you 80% there, embellish as needed:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class MyProgressBar : Control {
public MyProgressBar() {
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Selectable, false);
Maximum = 100;
this.ForeColor = Color.Red;
this.BackColor = Color.White;
}
public decimal Minimum { get; set; } // fix: call Invalidate in setter
public decimal Maximum { get; set; } // fix as above
private decimal mValue;
public decimal Value {
get { return mValue; }
set { mValue = value; Invalidate(); }
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) {
var rc = new RectangleF(0, 0, (float)(this.Width * (Value - Minimum) / Maximum), this.Height);
using (var br = new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor)) {
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(br, rc);
}
base.OnPaint(e);
}
}
