VB Line Question

Maybe draw another line or a box over it with the background color. Like the dirty box method. Page swaping, fliping, Zero the memory out and all that good crap.

-Frank

without redrawing the rest of the image or re-drawing a section around where the line was removed you can't by simple commands. You would want to create a shape object or line object, give it an index of 0 and dynamically create a line and move it within the picture box. by removing/hiding that line you would effectively remove it and keep the contents below/above

XOR drawing is your friend, antialiasing isnt:)

yes some drawing programs do that, they redraw the line with the xor pen which erases the pen wiht the same color. Its not perfect and antialiasing will bugger the whole thing up but it could get you close to what you want!!

Hi.

I have got it working great!!

Somehow, I just used Not XOR (10) to erase the previous line and Copy Pen (13) to put the new line in. All other lines on the screen remained untouched, even if they new line crossed over it!

Thanks anyway

Mark.

Glad I could help!!

Cheers
