What do you mean by "load OnPaint"? What is the code that you used, and what error message do you get?

--- b { font-weight: normal; }

i do not get error message .. but what i wanna do is to be able to call OnPaint , can i call it let say from a button click when i click on the button ?

me.refresh() forces the form to redraw .. hopes this helps.. also me.invalidate() I think this also do the same thing.. not sure for this option

me.invalidate will repaint the entire control.

What did you mean by "but i recive an error", then?

You could, but that is not the proper way of redrawing a control. Call the Invalidate method of the control, that will put a message in the queue that tells the message pump that the Paint event has to be called to redraw the control.
