painting a canvas

[cppdev]

I am developing a custom gui it consists of a Form with a panel sitting on top of the form, and a canvas on top of the panel.

when i start the app i must click on the canvas to make it paint the canvas. I want it to paint the canvas automatically when the app starts.

I have tried several events, OnShow, OnActivate, OnCreate, etc...


How can i have the canvas automatically painted when the app starts ?



Thanks in advance,
