I have region:

Region r

and I have a point:

PointF p

is there any method that determines whether p is in r?
something like this

bool is_p_in_r = graphics.Determine(p,r);
if(is_p_in_r)
       Execute("theMan.kil");
:)

Can you use RectangleF rf = r.GetBounds(graphics); then if(rf.Contains(p)) do whatever? I'm assuming that graphics is of type Graphics and is initialized somehow.

well .. if the region is circular then there may be points in rf that are not in the region! in other words rf is a superset of the region!

I gotcha. I had that possibility in the back of my mind but I wasn't sure how the regions were defined. Apologies.

There's also the intersect method of the region itself. It requires a rectangle but send your point in as a 1 pixel by 1 pixel rectangle. If the intersection is empty you'll know the point is not there (looks like you need to save a copy of your region first since it will clobber it with the result when you call the method). I don't think that makes any assumptions about the shape of the region.

thanks. I think it works... it's like a mathematical trick ..
I was going to code it but.. accidentally I found the polymorphic method isVisible ..
