I am involved in making an interface for bluetooth project and I am supposed to do it in Vb.Net, I am unable to determine, how to draw a graphics image on a panel around a listview control in a panel.. All the suggestions are welcome ......

I'm sorry for either not understanding or being stupid, but what do you mean by, "panel?" Do you mean a PictureBox?

VB.NET comes with a powerfull drawing library..use GDI+ its in system.drawing namespace!

I am really sorry to hear from you that, you cannot understand what "panel" really means??? Panel is a container which contains other controls.. I think u r very new to programming in GUI.. Learn.. Helps a lot for ur career....

Wow, the one asking the question flames someone! Not a good way to go.

ummm, i've been programming for a long over a year, and have created my own activeX control (from scratch, that emulates almost everything a listbox does, except with one additional feature... and thats me trying to brag about my first control ever...and my first useful thing ever made) and I like to think I know VB. I've at least dabbled in everything Ive ever heard of in VB except internet...and I don't know what you mean by a panel. I would assume a Frame though, is that correct?

he said it was a container, frame, picturebox, form, etc.

oh, and programmers learn different terms based on where they learned. U could go to a 10 year proffesional programmer, and he may not know some of the terms(programming slang) that u use.

In VB6, there's no control named "Panel". In VB .net, there is. And yes, a panel is pretty much like a frame (with a few differences).

There IS a VB6 object called a Panel, But I do not believe that it is the same object. On the other hand, there is an object availible in Borland C++ Builder called a panel which, I believe, is the same object.

That's hilarious

I've been programming for uhh.. going on 2 years now. Never heard someone call a container a Panel before. And before you start spraying flames at me, you might wanna think about the terminology you use and how other people might interpret it, after all, it does help in the career world, I mean c'mon.

A Panel is a type of container.
