[2005] overlapping rectangles

[sparrow1]

how can i test for overlapping rectangles?

for example:

rectangle1 = new rectangle(168,111,10,36)
rectangle2 = new rectangle(160,108,18,18)

these 2 rectangles overlap. any ideas?

the rectangles are actually a textbox + a picturebox

Hi,

If you I see your code then they overlapping.

rectangle1 = new rectangle(168= x,111=y,10,36= the size of your rectangle)
rectangle2 = new rectangle(160=x,111= y,18,18= the size of the other rectangle)

In code you have then:

rectangle1 = new rectangle(168,111,10,36)
rectangle2 = new rectangle(168,122,18,18)

That they will be situated under each other with there own size.

Or you can have the same size and then you do this:

rectangle1 = new rectangle(168,111,10,36)
rectangle2 = new rectangle(168,122,10,36)

Hope it helps,
