    urg...another question - Clearing specific areas?

    I hate to make so many topics, but I'm sure you're glad to help

    So, my question is; is it possible to click to clear one area on a picturebox? It would be used as an eraser for a drawing. I've just used white on a white background in the past, but that's just painting over in white.

    which is ok if the drawings don't overlap

    one possible solution is to keep all the drawing parameters in an array or collection, so they can be redrawn, after cls, less the ones you want to errase
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    I think a really easy way is to draw a filled box in the form's bkg color, no?

    Yes, that is like what MS Paint does.. You can "erase" with a circle or a square region as a "eraser brush". Just paint with your background color to simulate erasing.
