Hi

ThisPanel.BorderStyle =

BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
Now this gives the panel a border with BLACK color.. I need to change it to Gray.
How do i do it?

Thanks

Hi dsfsdfs,

You can override the Panel.OnPaint method to draw a rectangle with gray color. Here is the example
public class MyPanel : Panel
{
public MyPanel()
{
}

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(e.ClipRectangle.Location.X, e.ClipRectangle.Location.Y, e.ClipRectangle.Width - 1, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 1);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Gray, rec);
base.OnPaint(e);
}
}

Based on my test, if I use e.ClipRectangle as the rectangle, the right bottom side line will be invisible, so I reduce it by 1 pixel.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
