Circle method

[ef2k]

Hi everyone, i made a paint program, and i made it where the user clicks a + or - button to make the brush bigger or smaller, and i used the circle method to draw the brush at its current size on the form, everything works fine as i make it bigger, but as i click the - button, the circle gets smaller, but the outer edges of previous circles are still visible, which doesn't look too great. Anyone have any ideas on how i could fix this? Thanks for any help!

You might try clearing the screen to erase old circles, and make sure autoredraw is set true. Autoredraw is set in either the properties at design-time or during run-time with the following code:

Form1.AutoRedraw = True

You can clear everything drawn on a form or picture box using the command:

Form1.Cls 'erases everything previously drawn

You will just have to experiment a little. If the .Cls isn't what you want, you could write a white circle over the old circles so they are invisible.
