Hello,

I'm fairly new to VB 2010 but very familiar with programming in other languages. I'm trying to make a quick application but I'm at a stand still. I know it's something simple but I've searched around and I may have found the answer but because I don't understand the problem I'll never know. So here goes.

I'm not at my programming station at the moment so I'm going to be very general with my example. Here's what I want to do:

Code:
dim doonce as Int16

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
{
doonce = 1
}

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
bm as new bitmap
while(doonce = 1)
{
   bm.clearcolor(white)
   bm.setpixel(0,0(black))
}
End Sub
So basically the while loop never executes when I click the button. This obviously isn't the exact code, but it's an idea of what I'm trying to do.

basically when you click the button, it refreshes the bitmap and sets a pixel. In the final code, the pixel position will increment each time you click the button.
