I will provide some download...

Re: Manic Minutes

Cool :)

How long does it take to create something like that?

Public Sub DrawingArea1_MouseDown()

  Dim da As DrawingArea = Last

End


In any Event the Last keyword points to the calling object.
so in a drawingarea mousedown event Last is the drawingarea
