    Brush Constructor Question

    I've got an inherited control where I want the user to be able to specify a
    color property. Using that color, I'm drawing a line

    private m_UserDefinedCo lor as Color

    .....

    Dim g as Graphics=this.C reateGraphics
    Dim myPen as Pen = new Pen(m_UserDefin edColor)
    g.DrawLine(myPe n, X1, Y, X2 - 1, Y)

    Then I want to draw a triangle filled with the same color. I set the point
    and do:

    g.FillPolygon(B rushes.Red, leftTriangle);

    Because I can't figure out how to create a Brush that has the userdefined
    color.

    It's not possible to do: myBrush as Brush = new Brush(m_UserDef inedColor)

    How do you specify the Brush Color in this case?

    Cheers,

    Johnny J.

      IIRC you have to use one of the "other" brush objects (Solid,
      Gradient, etc)

      Something like:

      Dim b As Brush = New SolidBrush(m_Us erDefinedColor)

      Thanks,
