I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing,backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?

View 2 RepliesI have a little experience with drawing using GDI+ in VB.NET, but not so much with more complex shapes. All I ever used were lines and rectangles, and the occasional ellipse.I need to draw an 'arc' like this:I can specify the starting angle (0 in the picture), ending angle (angle from the horizontal (left side)), and the starting and ending radius, and I'm sure any other things I need can be calculated from that.The problem is that I have no clue which drawing function to use. Can I do it using FillPath, or FillClosedCurve, or? Of course, I could create a pie shape and then draw a second pie shape (slightly less radius) on top of that to make it appear like it's a single shape, but what if it needs to be 'transparent'? I don't want it to draw a solid shape on top.
View 17 RepliesI need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.
Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.
Here's the original code that works fine on a form:
Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False

View 12 RepliesI have my application to where you can load up an image and draw on it with the mouse left down and drag.Only problem is, if the form becomes the inactive one or is minimized/maximized the drawings go away until I scroll the image in the form (I put the redraw functionality in the picturebox.Paint event).How can I make the lines I draw stay permanently? I've put picturebox1.refresh in the minimizedchanged/maximizechanged and form.activated events and still nothing..Even tried the picturebox's resize event and nothing?

my assignment is to draw a graph within my VB form with a some variables I have. I was told by my boss that I should use Microsoft Chart Control 6.0, but I don't think it matters if it is in another software.I currently have a few variables, each with a lot of values, "Frequency", which is user entered from maximum to minimum, CH (channel) 1-4 which are given by a machine output I use at my company. My graph, is supposed to have the Frequency values in the X-Axis (horizontal) and the CH 1-4 values within a range of each other in the Y-Axis. Can anybody help? My code for extracting the data and getting the frequency is below. How I got most of it is thanks to Stanav, the thread is over here: url...It comes with 3 buttons (I have not put in the code for button 3), the 3rd button will be used for plotting the graph when clicked.

I'm basically trying to make a simple, easy-to-use, paint program. I seem to be having problems with using multiple colors in the PictureBox1_Paint option.

I have a bit of an issue here. I made a "Colour picker" dialog in my program with which you can pick the colour at the mouse. It is a simple topmost form with an OnPaint handler used to draw a coloured border around the cursor:
It uses a transparency key to make the non-drawn parts of the form transparent.
It uses the following code to prevent the mouse from clicking through the screen:
Window.FromControl(Me).ExStyle(Window.ExStyles.Layered) = True
Window.FromControl(Me).ExStyle(Window.ExStyles.Transparent) = False
It sets Layered to True and Transparent to False. This works in Windows 7, but on a XP machine it fails. When moving the mouse the event does not go to the forms' event handler and you can just click through. For a screen region selector I simply made a screenshot, but I want the Colour Picker to remain updated. (just in case you want to get the colour of an animated control)
How can I get this to work on a Windows XP machine?
