How do you retrieve the visible clipping region for a control?
I have a control where I do some on-screen drawing (specifically
ControlPaint.Dr awReversibleLin e()), however I need to clip the line to the
visible bounds of my control.
Obviously, the client rect is simple enough to retrieve, but what I need to do
is to clip the line segment to only that portion of the control that is
visible, which may _not_ correspond to the client rect if there is some other
window partially obscuring my control.
In my tests, Control.CreateG raphics().ClipB ounds() is returning an 'infinite'
rectangle.
Anyone have any pointers on how to do what I want in .Net?

Julie,
You can use the ClientRectangle property.
In your Paint overrides, there is a parameter ClipRectangle.

I am trying to paste a pile of text boxes onto a large form in groups
of 15 when I try to copy the first group (0-14)and paste it below the
elements are numbered backwards.(29-15) Is there a way to copy and
paste these elements so each paste is a continuation of the element
numbers in the same order as the first? or maybe a better way of
handling groups of 15???
Thanks

I have made a custom control that draws a rectangle when the mouse is down, and does nothing when the mouse is up.
I set/reset a flag in MouseDown/Mouse up and use this to do the drawing in the OnPaint .
The recangle draws correct when i press the mouse, but when i release the mouse the background is not restored
What should i do in the Onpaint to make sure the background (the form) is restored correctly ?

WM_NCPAINT and thus won't show up if base.WndProc is left out.

In my Web application, a have an image within a DIV. One of the allowed
user gestures is to drag the image with the mouse. When dragging, parts
of the image that would otherwise be displayed outside the DIV should
be clipped.
I had no trouble at all achieving this on FireFox and Safari. But I
can't get Internet Explorer to do the clipping; it always shows the
whole image, including the bits outside the DIV.

i have a control that uses a region to make it non rectangular
when i try to to remove the region by calling this.Region.Makeinfinite() the
control keeps its non rectangular Region.
if i call RecreateHandle() after calling Region.Makeinfinite() it works.
I Don't understand why it does not work if i don't call RecreateHandle();

I can make the usercontrol visibly transparent by setting the
