Lesson 11 - Finishing the Clock in C# .NET Windows Forms
In the previous lesson, Analog and Digital Clock in C# .NET Windows Forms, we started an application that draws analog and digital clocks. In today's C# .NET tutorial we're going to continue and finish the application.
Digital Clock
Let's move on to drawing the digital clock. We'll draw it just below the
center of the clock face and align the text to center. The parameters of the
method will be, in addition to the canvas, a time24
parameter,
which determines whether we want to display the time in the 24-hour format.
private void DrawDigital(Graphics g, bool time24) { string time; if (time24) time = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(); else time = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss"); SizeF textSize = g.MeasureString(time, font); Point textPosition = new Point(); textPosition.X = center.X - textSize.ToSize().Width / 2; textPosition.Y = center.Y + 20; g.DrawString(time, font, Brushes.Black, textPosition); }
Based on the time24
parameter, we get
