hi.

I am trying to convert a VB-6 program to VB-2008.

the program displays the (us) map in a picture box.

during runtime .. the program paints certain states red .. depending on the user's input.

You can see what the (vb-6) program (and the us map) looks like
from my website.

www (dot) wa0h (dot) com
the (0) in (wa0h) is the number zero.

web searching revealed that lots of programmers wanted to do this
but no solutions were found.

it seems that (gdi+) does (not) have a (ext-flood-fill) function.

since states do not have a regular boundary, i can't use ..fill-region

??? can anyone help me with this simple tasks ???

searching your forum .. i saw similar postings from several years ago,
but no apparent solution.

Thanks for you time.
