After my signature you'll find a scribble like application that handles
mouse, click and paint events to create a scribble like program.
Have fun...

Hi!
1. Please, help with example "paint on form by mouse"
2. Below is my example, but it clear the line after each Refresh()... how
to fix?
3. How to draw the line in Mouse_Move event?
private Boolean isCanPaint = false;
private MouseEventArgs MouseEvent1;
private MouseEventArgs MouseEvent2;
private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
MouseEvent1 = e;
label1.Text = "X = " + e.X.ToString() + " ; Y = " + e.Y.ToString();
}
private void Form1_MouseUp(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
MouseEvent2 = e;
label2.Text = "X = " + e.X.ToString() + " ; Y = " + e.Y.ToString();
isCanPaint = true;
Refresh();
}
private void Form1_Paint(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
if (isCanPaint)
{
Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Blue, 3);
e.Graphics.DrawLine(myPen,MouseEvent1.X, MouseEvent1.Y, MouseEvent2.X,
MouseEvent2.Y);
}
}
