Overview

neoShape adds interactive vector shapes to VisualNEO Win publications. Shapes are rendered with GDI+ antialiasing in both the VisualNEO editor and the compiled application. The control inherits fill, outline, line width, font, and text color from the VisualNEO Style Palette.

Supported shapes are rectangle, rounded-rectangle, ellipse, triangle, diamond, hexagon, and star.

Events

The control provides Click, Mouse Enter, and Mouse Exit. VisualNEO sets the standard modern-control event variables before running the event script:

[ModernEventObject]
[ModernEventName]
[ModernEventJSON]
[ModernEventPlugin]

The JSON payload contains x, y, shape, caption, and, for clicks, button.

Result Variables
