Re: Drawing in a user control

You seem to be suffering from the classic problem of one who is trying to
resolve message driven architecture with an encapsulated window.

You should set boolean variables at the class level to state whether or not
the particular drawing should take place and ONLY draw in the OnPaint
override.

You should also consider whether UserControl is the correct base class or
whether Control or ScrollableControl is a better base.

Ah, also NEVER create a control that handles it's own events.

Hello!
I am creating a user control with several methods, each method should
draw something in my user control; from a winform, I should use:
myControl.ShowBands or myControl.ShowLabels, etc.; but I don't know how
to do that, because all the logic to draw should be in the Paint event,
but each method does very differents things. I tried to create all the
methods I need, but I don't have the Graphics reference. SO, my
question is how can I draw different things, using my custom methods
using the correct Graphics object.



Thanks,
Fernando.
