Re: Aaaaarghhh!!! Drawing a circle?

O.K., Thanks for the info, i'll give this a go tommorrow. :-)

All the programming i've ever done simply involves calculations that provide
an answer. Hence all i've ever used on a form is textboxes, buttons and
labels.

Watch this space ;-)

It's like overriding any method. Understanding this is basic OOP and you
need to understand it to move forward programming.

You need to create a project, drop on a Form, the override that Form's
OnPaint. Once you do that and make sure it's calling into OnPaint, then
create a brush and draw a circle.

Ahhhh ha... It's like everything - It's quite simple when you know how to
do it. I don't even know how to override OnPaint! :-(

All the web tutorials i've tried to follow don't work for me for some
reason or other. I know i'm doing something wrong, but believe me i've
spent ages on this and am now at the point of sheer frustration.

Hellllllllllp!!!!

It's quite simple - override OnPaint (and probably OnPaintBackground)
and paint the circle and lines. There are lots of web tutorials for
this type of thing.

How difficult can it be to draw a circle and a couple of lines in VS
2005 VB.net???????

It was so much easier when I could just select a tool and draw them at
design time!

This has got me really frustrated, and feeling pretty stupid. All I
want to do is to display a circle on a pocket PC screen (WM5) have it
intersected with a horizontal and vertical line so that it looks like
the cross hairs on a gun sight. I then want a smaller crosshair in the
middle that can be moved around by means of four buttons, one each for
up, down, left and right. Each time a button is clicked I want the
small crosshair to move .01mm in the corrosponding direction. The
large crosshair will always remain stationary, thus referencing the
centre of the circle

I'm a real novice programmer and this is driving me mad. My simple
programs have never really needed any sort of graphics before. It used
to be so easy.

Can anyone help me out please.

Many thanks

Jem
