System.Drawing (system.drawing.dll)

sealed class

This class provides a set of static properties that return Pen objects for (almost) all the standard system colors. Sadly, as some of the system colors were deemed to be "not for drawing lines" InactiveCaption for instanceyou'll have to fall back on SystemColors and Pen if you want to use them in some kind of inverse colors cheme.

Like most of these SystemXXX classes, although IDisposable is implemented, you must not dispose of the object yourself. The internal implementation caches the pens in a system table, but only tests for nullness and not whether the object has been disposed, so you will leave an unpleasant surprise for the next person to use that pen!

To retrieve a Pen for one of the web colors, see Pens .
