Form initialization question? [RESOLVED]

Hi,
I am using VB Net.

I have a form, a picture box and a sub procedure that draws a circle in the picture box.

The behavior I desire is for the form to load and then to call the sub procedure to draw the circle. At this point a circle should be in the picture box.

I have experimented with placing the call in various form events. The best I can get is that the circle shows up for an instant and then disappears.

Where I can I place this call so that the circle is persistent after loading the form? Should I be using some protected override?

I can do this with a timer that provides a short amount of time for the form to finish loading and displaying. I would rather do it another way if possible.

Thanks,

Something like this:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated
        Me.Update()
        Dim tPen As New Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Red)
 
        PictureBox1.CreateGraphics.DrawEllipse(tPen, 0, 0, 50, 50)
    End Sub

Thanks! That was exactly what was needed.
