Re: icon move

Hmm you need to read the wiki on how to use Paint.class. that code is pretty far out. Ironically I wrote a snake game that uses a picture box last year. So you've come to the right place for help :D https://forum.gambas.one/viewtopic.php?t=1671 I'll have a look at you code later when I finish work 😎

Re: icon move

Embed it in another picture object

Or
Change the PictureBox.Picture.X and Y

Or If you want more detailed less vague answers ask more detailed less vague questions. 😊

Or post the code/project with details of what you need.

Welcome to the forum 😁

Re: Draw randomly colored dots in DrawingArea - how?

... or make your dots an array that the Draw event paints the same array each time. Ouch! That was like a wake up slap - duh - :mrgreen: ! Haha. I think your main problem was thinking the Draw() event and refresh do little bits. But no , the refresh triggers the Draw event for a complete draw. know...

Re: Draw randomly colored dots in DrawingArea - how?

Hey Bruce, I've modified my code as you had it above and noticed that the DrawingArea refresh several times when loses or gains focus and on form resize. Is this something that can be overcome? As it currently stands, it's not ideal for what I'm planning to do with it. The PictureBox is already gai...

Re: Draw randomly colored dots in DrawingArea - how?

Depending on the application it can be better to use a simple PictureBox and use paint functions to paint the picture. Like I say it depends on the application, sometimes a DrawingArea is prefered , sometimes a Picture A PictureBox can be easily manipulated and things added to it, PictureBox1.Pictur...

Re: Draw randomly colored dots in DrawingArea - how?

The DrawingArea_Draw event is to paint the entire Drawing area surface , totally, from blank. Calling .Refresh triggers the draw event to clear the area and draw anew. (not just part of it) So what you have there is an animation rapidly showing random single dots. you should put the loop in the Draw...

Re: Change column width in a DataView not working

The code should look more like this... DataView1.View.Columns[1].Width = 50 you are missing the Width property DataView1.View.Columns[1] is a pointer to the the Column object not it's width property. PS. It can help a lot to just try hitting . (dot/full stop) after anything and see if the auto-compl...
