[2005] drawing

[arshesander]

how can make a drawing in vb, using mouse or any e-ballpen to add my signature?

[Jenner]

Not exactly sure what you are asking. Do you want to know how to make a control in VB.NET that lets you use the mouse to draw on it like the pencil-tool in MSPaint?

If you are trying to do what Jenner said, a mspaint like control, you can use a picturebox and its mousemove event. Make sure you create a new bitmap for your picturebox.image before you call this code, or you'll get an error.

    Dim prevX As Integer = -1
    Dim prevY As Integer = -1
    Private Sub PictureBox2_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox2.MouseMove
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
            Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(PictureBox2.Image)
            If prevX > 0 And prevY > 0 Then
                g.DrawLine(Pens.Blue, e.X, e.Y, prevX, prevY)
                PictureBox2.Refresh()

            End If
            prevX = e.X
            prevY = e.Y
        Else
            prevX = -1
            prevY = -1
        End If
    End Sub
