Hello, All!

SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(SystemColors.Control);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush,Rect);

Why this code draws picture1(see attach)
and this

Pen pen = new Pen(brush,drawWidth);
pen.Alignment = PenAlignment.Inset;
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen,Rect);

draws picture2?(take a look on small rose pixels)

How to get picture1 using pen?

There is a bug in the Pen Alignment system so you can't rely on it.

Yes, there really is a bug in pen alignment.

It might help to get you a solution if we knew why you need to draw with a
pen and not a brush and whether the goal os just a grey rectangle or
something more significant.

I want to draw a scaleable border on the my Panel derived from MS Panel

With best regards, KVV. E-mail: kvv_vlad@ua.fm

Hmm I see,

Well, you can do it the quick and dirty way and draw a border inside the
window and offset your client drawing by the border width or you can do it
the right way and create a custom CreateParams override along with a custom
WndProc that handles WM_NCCREATE etc properly. This last involves interop.

Either way, you cannot draw outside the bounds of your window to add a
border to the outside so that fudge is out of the question. Well, you can,
but it means drawing on the desktop window which is even more of a nasty
hack.

I know how to do it but I'm sorry, I don't have any code that does just now.

Hunting around on the web I don't see any articles I can point you to that
have immediate relavence to your problem so it's definitely a great subject
for further investigation.

If I have some spare time later I might make it into a tips and tricks
article.
