• Visual C# How to direct Drawing to a contained object (panel)?

  Hi There, I would like to draw a line within a panel on my form. Using the OnPaint event, I have been able to draw on the form object itself. Is it possible (syntatically) to direct the system to draw inside a specific control from the form's OnPaint event, or do I have to create another OnPaint event for that particular control. Thanks, Karl panel.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(myPanelPaint); void myPanelPaint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { } The code within myPanelPaint() will get run when that panel has been invalidated. OR, you could roll your own custom panel class MyCustomPanel ...Show All
