How can I use XOR mode when calling DrawRectangle method in C#


As the title says, I want to paint something with XOR mode because I want to clean it after a period of time.

I'm using C# (Window Form) with Visual Studio 2010.

Can anybody help me with this?


Solution

  • I made a nice extension for .net:

    public static class XorDrawing
    {
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint = "SetROP2", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
        private extern static int SetROP2(IntPtr hdc, int fnDrawMode);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint = "MoveToEx", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
        private extern static bool MoveToEx(IntPtr hdc, int x, int y, IntPtr lpPoint);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint = "LineTo", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
        private extern static bool LineTo(IntPtr hdc, int x, int y);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        static extern IntPtr CreateCompatibleDC(IntPtr hdc);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll", EntryPoint = "SelectObject")]
        public static extern IntPtr SelectObject([In] IntPtr hdc, [In] IntPtr hgdiobj);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
        static extern bool DeleteObject(IntPtr target);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
        static extern IntPtr CreatePen(PenStyle fnPenStyle, int nWidth, uint crColor);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
        static extern bool SetWorldTransform(IntPtr hdc, [In] ref XFORM lpXform);
    
        [DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
        public static extern int SetGraphicsMode(IntPtr hdc, int iMode);
    
        /// <summary>

    Usage

    g.DrawXorRectangle(bmp, outRect.Left, outRect.Top, outRect.Left + outRect.Width, outRect.Top + outRect.Height);
    

    Or

    g.DrawXorLine(bmp, x1, y1, x2, y2);
