Microsoft Paint-like application

[mariano_donati]

Hi, does anyone have an example with vb.net or c#.net about how to use GDI+ for painting figures in real time, like Microsoft Paint?
Thanks!.

Check this out. It might be a little more then you want, but it is a great example. The source code is at the bottom.

Wow!, i think that it's a bit more than a little more than i wanted! I really will need to study it, thank you very much.

Well, that code is really advanced to me. So i'll try to keep it simple. I'm working with a bitmap, and on mouse move, i use SetPixel method to paint a determined pixel. That works, but when i move mouse a bit faster, then the draw is like a dashed or dotted line, i mean that not every pixel that mouse is on while i'm moving it, is painted. If i move mouse faster, white spaces between pixels appears.
This happens because MouseMove event is not raised always that mouse is moving, instead of that, MouseMove event is raised only a few times if mouse is moving fast.
How can i solve it?

mariona,

take a look at my freehand drawing example at the codebank: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=356433

this demonstrates how to draw freehand with the mouse, the dotted issue is solved by drawing lines between the two points.

Hi, this link is not working

Yeah, and the thread is nearly 20 years old, so it's unlikely that even if it was working, the code would be. That would have had to have been .NET 2005, at best, which would mean targeting FW 2.0. While moving said code to something newer wouldn't be too hard, it is quite possible that it wouldn't work as such, because the framework may not be on any computer.

Here is the archived copy of that page from the time that that post was made. No idea if the download links were archived as well.
