Description

TPaintBox is a TGraphicControl descendant which implements a control with a rectangular drawing area using a given Font and Color. Like its ancestor, TPaintBox provides a Canvas which is used to draw on the control surface. It provides an overridden Paint method to configure the Pen, Brush, and Font for the Canvas prior to calling the inherited Paint method. Use the OnPaint event handler to perform drawing operations needed for the control.
