drawing a rectangle

[R.A.F.]

Hi,

I'm trying to draw a simple rectangle with the following code :
...
this->Canvas->Pen->Color = TColor(0x00FFAAAA);
this->Canvas->Pen->Width = 1;
this->Canvas->Rectangle(0,0,this->Width, this->Height);
...

this works perfectly.
however, if for some reason i do not want to draw the rectangle border
but only the contents (the brush), i do :
...
//this->Canvas->Pen->Color = TColor(0x00FFAAAA);
this->Canvas->Pen->Width = 0;
this->Canvas->Rectangle(0,0,this->Width, this->Height);
...

but anyway, it draws the border...
where is the problem ?

thx.

Try setting the penstyle to psClear

this->Canvas->Pen->Style = psClear;

You can use the Canvas->FillRect function.

You don't need the this pointer
You can write only:

Canvas->Pen->Width = 0;

You can't set the Width below 1. This is stated in the TPen documentation:

"If Width is set to a value less than 1, the pen is given a Width of 1."

Rectangle() is supposed to always draw a border. The TCanvas documentation
says as much:

"Use Rectangle to draw a rectangle using Pen and fill it with Brush...To
fill a rectangular region without drawing the boundary in the current pen,
use FillRect."

And is there a method to draw a 3D rectangle or should i play with
lines, rectangle and fillrect ?

Look at the Frame3D() function.

BevelEdge and so on, but in 1 property :-)
