• Windows Forms Control deleted while trying to clear property value

  Hi All, I found this forum is very helpful. Benjamin Wulfe just helped me solve my big problem. I'm posting another one.

• Windows Forms own draw controls

  1. I understand that when I want to draw on a control, I have to call Invalidate().    This will trigger the Paint event. If I override the OnPaint method, I can gain access to the    EventArgs object.

Suppose I call the Refresh method for a control because I want to redraw the control and its child controls. ...Show All
