.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / June 2007How to Draw a Border Around a Filled GraphicsPath
Hi all I have a user control that I draw onto using a GraphicsPath. The GP is non-rectangular. I get a region from the GP and assign it to the control's region. I then want to put a border round the region. Can anyone tell me how to do this? The purpose of the exercise is to create several controls, each of different shapes, and drag-and-drop them onto a form. They will then be positioned with the mouse to form a pattern. I seem to be able to fill the shape, but not put a border round it. Any help is appreciated. I have Googled extensively but all I can find is other people trying to do a similar thing without an answer. TIA Charles Have you visited the GDI+ FAQ? Extensive googling should at least turn that up. Try also going to the beginners guide to GDI+ which contains loads of info for beginners.

The problem occurs when I use my GraphicsPath to create a region and assign it to the region of the user control. I get a filled region, as desired, but DrawPath does not put a border around it.
