Graphical help needed...you here Janus?

[CoachG]

Janus was a big help in getting me started with this problem so hopefully he (or someone else) can help me out again.

I have a picturebox that I am using the PRINT method on to display numbers in different positions. The only problem is that I have a frame that pops-up and a form that can be called up and they are displayed over my picturebox and when I close them down, everything I "printed" onto the picture box is gone and I don't want it to be. Is there any work around this. I'm a newbie so I don't know API and stuff like that and the PRINT statement is working perfectly for what I need, I just don't want the things to dissapear until I am ready for them to. Thanks

Set the AutoRedraw property to true, and use .Refresh to view the contents of the picturebox (I think ).

[Janus]

Yep, set the PictureBox.AutoRedraw to True before you draw the text, and then call PictureBox.Refresh to make your changes visible, and it should stay there when frames and forms cover it up.
