[RESOLVED] [2005] clearing drawn lines from a form

[andyismilesaway]

Having now harnessed the power of drawing lines (newby ) is there a way/command to clear the form of these lines.

Im doing the following when a button is pressed to draw some lines:

Dim this_graphics As Graphics = CreateGraphics()
this_graphics.DrawLine(pens.red, point1, point2)

Cheers

okay, trawling says theres a command for clearing....

g.graphics.clear(colour)

genius

You're going about this the wrong way, as evidenced by the fact that you're calling CreateGraphics. Also, you're clearing a colour, which isn't clearing the lines you've drawn specifically.

Follow the GDI+ tutorial link in my signature and read their #1 FAQ question, then checkout my simple drawing program submission in the CodeBank.
