To fill a circle, set the FillColor and FillStyle properties of the object on which the circle or ellipse is drawn. Only a closed figure can be filled. Closed figures include circles, ellipses, or pie slices (arcs with radius lines drawn at both ends).
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

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Set the FillStyle and FillColor for the object you are drawing on

picView.FillColor = vbRed
picView.AutoRedraw = True
picView.Circle (500, 500), 100, vbRed
