how to draw points onto a frame control? 1

[ultra2]

i need to draw hundreds of points onto a frame control. It should look like the points on a form in the form designer of VB6.

I tried to create a shape control array, but that is too slow to swich on/off the visible property of hundreds of shape controls.

how to draw directly onto the frame control?

I don'y think you can do this with vb6

... on a frame control. But why onto a frame and not just onto the form???

ok, thx, then I will use a picturebox control

how to draw points onto that? directly what is the fastest way?

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  For i = 1 To 8
    For j = 1 To 8
      Picture1.PSet (i, j)
    Next
  Next
End Sub

Add a picturebox (name=picture1)
add a command button (name=command1)
set for example the scaleheight and scalewidth of the picturebox to 8

See what happens...

(to adjust the diameter of the dots in the picture1 change its property drawwidth)

..Also you may need to change the ScaleMode (default value "1 - Twip")

..Also you may need to change the ScaleMode (default value "1 - Twip")

...Change the Value to 3 - Pixel

Or use ScaleX and ScaleY...

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  For i = 1 To 8
    For j = 1 To 8
      Picture1.PSet (ScaleX(i, vbPixels, vbTwips), ScaleY(j, vbPixels, vbTwips))
    Next
  Next
End Sub

*Note: ScaleX & ScaleY are actually methods of the Form, so they will not be accessible from a module unless you reference a form.
