GraphicsCache.GetSolidBrush(Color) Method

Gets a solid brush with specified parameters.

Namespace: DevExpress.Utils.Drawing

Assembly: DevExpress.Utils.v23.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Utils, DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#

public Brush GetSolidBrush(
    Color color
)

VB.NET

Public Function GetSolidBrush(
    color As Color
) As Brush

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
color	Color	A System.Drawing.Color object specifying the brush color.

Returns

Type	Description
Brush	A System.Drawing.Brush descendant representing the requested brush (typically a System.Drawing.SolidBrush object).

Remarks

When the GetSolidBrush method is called, it checks whether the requested brush is already contained in an internal hash table of solid brushes. If so, the found brush is returned. Otherwise a new brush with specified parameters is created and added to an internal hash table. The hash table is initially empty. The introduced technique allows you to provide quick access to recently used solid brushes.
