    Back in the good old VB6 there where the Shape and the Line controls, which were very useful. They seemed to disappear in the VB7 and the C#. Does any one know what happened to them?

One may think about creating a control that behaves similar to the VB6 controls. Besides they were easy to use, they had one big caveat: They were full blown objects, with all the memory consumption. Try searching codeproject.com for examples on GDI+. You will find how to draw a line - and four lines make a shape ;) Sascha -- http://www.livingit.de http://www.mobile-bookmarks.info
