Responding to Changes

All graphic objects, including canvases and their owned objects (pens, brushes, and fonts) have events built into them for responding to changes in the object. By using these events, you can make your components (or the applications that use them) respond to changes by redrawing their images.

Responding to changes in graphic objects is particularly important if you publish them as part of the design-time interface of your components. The only way to ensure that the design-time appearance of the component matches the properties set in the Object Inspector is to respond to changes in the objects.

To respond to changes in a graphic object, assign a method to the class's OnChange event.
