stop drawing from being erased on form resize or state changed

[MJB3K]

Hi, I have a little paint app that i have written, you can draw on the screen and load pictures into it.

picturebox is called picCanvas.

However, if I minimize the form or change the form background color, it removes everything that was on there...

How can I get around this problem? I've heard it could be something to do with Paint method...?

Any ideas?

Also just another quick question, how do i go about saving the contents of the picCanvas to a file.

Regards,

Martin

Do you have any relevant code? At a guess, it's possible that when you are making a change (such as minimizing or changing background color) that the function that allows the drawing isn't being called again or that the painting isn't being saved immediately afterward. Just a thought, anyway...
