In VB.NET Windows Form, how do I add a line across the form? > In VB.NET Windows Form, how do I add a line across the form? I did this inside of the forms paint method. Hope it helps.

It's better to store the 'Pen' object in a private variable, for example, instead of creating a new pen every time the form is drawn.  SignatureM S Herfried K.

Thanks for the info. If I use the same pen for the life of the form should I still dispose of it when the form is closed, or will the auto-disposing of the form take care of it for me? chris "Chris" <no@spam.com> schrieb: >>> Private Sub Main_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As >>> System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > should I still dispose of it when the form is closed, or will the > auto-disposing of the form take care of it for me? You may want to call the pen's 'Dispose' method in the form's overridden 'Dispose' method. SignatureM S Herfried K.

SignatureM S Herfried K.

Did it in less than a second and I didn't have to write one line of code. Thank you. > "Mike L" <Cadel@nospam.nospam> schrieb: > > In VB.NET Windows Form, how do I add a line across the form?
