You can draw a free-hand shape in annotation mode.

Using Code

This example uses button controls to start and stop the drawing mode.

Example

C# Copy Code
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            fpSpread1.StartAnnotationMode(true);
            //fpSpread1.StartAnnotationMode();
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            fpSpread1.StopAnnotationMode();
        }

        private void fpSpread1_AnnotationModeStarting(object sender, FarPoint.Win.Spread.AnnotationModeEventArgs e)
        {
            
            e.DrawingSurface.ForeColor = Color.BlueViolet;
            e.DrawingSurface.BackColor = Color.Thistle;
        }

        private void fpSpread1_AnnotationModeEnding(object sender, FarPoint.Win.Spread.AnnotationModeEventArgs e)
        {
            listBox1.Items.Add("Stop Drawing");
        }
VB Copy Code
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
