Resolved GDI+, draw checkmark

[JuggaloBrotha]

How does the CheckBox control draw that black check mark in the white box? I can't install .Net Reflector or anything here on my work machine so could someone post the code (vb.net or c# is fine with me)?

Or if anyone knows how to do it (I have an 8x8 Bitmap object I'm drawing on already) I'd like a hand since my math isn't working out correctly:

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.Controls.Add(New PictureBox With {.Location = New Point(5I, 5I), .SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize, .Image = GetCheckMark()})
    End Sub

    Private Function GetCheckMark() As Bitmap
        Dim HW As Integer = 96I 'Set to 96x96 to better see it during dev, needs to to be 8x8 on the destination control
        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(HW, HW)
        Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
            Using WhiteBR As New SolidBrush(SystemColors.Window)
                g.FillRectangle(WhiteBR, New Rectangle(0I, 0I, HW, HW))
            End Using
            Dim pts(5I) As Point
            pts(0I) = New Point(0I, CInt(HW * (5I / 6I)))




            pts(1I) = New Point(CInt(HW * (1I / 3I)), CInt(HW * (3I / 4I)))
            pts(2I) = New Point(CInt(HW * (6I / 7I)), 4I)
            pts(3I) = New Point(CInt(HW * (6I / 7I)), 8I)
            pts(4I) = New Point(CInt(HW * (1I / 3I)), CInt(HW * (8I / 9I)))




            pts(5I) = New Point(3I, CInt(HW * (2I / 3I)))

            Using BlackBR As New SolidBrush(SystemColors.ControlText)
                g.FillPolygon(BlackBR, pts)
            End Using
            g.Save()
        End Using
        Return bmp
    End Function
End Class

try this ControlPaint.DrawCheckBox Method (Graphics, Rectangle, ButtonState) (System.Windows.Forms) or this CheckBoxRenderer Class (System.Windows.Forms)

I was playing with the CheckBoxRenderer class yesterday and I got it to work in the ListBox's OnDrawItem (on the correct item) but I wasn't able to have it draw it in the LB's Forecolor on the LB's backcolor, then jmc suggested I look at fonts, like Wingdings and there's on in there so I got it to work by using .DrawString() in that font.

I forgot to mark this thread as resolved last night.
