[resolved] [2005] Why drawing gets cleared?

[jonwondering]

I draw several rectangles and circles on the panel control on my form, but when some other window gets above that drawing, the drawing gets cleared. If I pull a folder over half the drawing, and then minimize that folder, the other half is still showing but not the half that the folder was over. Or if I minimize the application, then the drawing disappears and I have to click the button to redraw it again. Why does that happen? Any way to fix this?

Thanks.

If you used CreateGraphics, it is being cleared when the form redraws.
