PictureBox1_Paint and declaring variables [RESOLVED]

[stephen weber]

Hi,

I would just like to create a list of points through some algorithm under Private Sub Form1_Load
and then have them displayed with drawellipse(pens.black,x(a),y(a),1,1) under
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint.

I have the variables x(), y() and 'a' as public singles ontop in the class arena.
And declare them again in Private Sub Form1_Load when I calculate how many points needed x(a),y(a)....

But in the error analysis when the program runs, apparently the variables aren't public enough because they are listing as unfilled.

Am I declaring the variables correctly or is it that
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint
tries to paint before the number of points are calculated?

Thanks for you's help..
