Ok all. I have a program I designed that is to simulate three memory manager types and I want to graph the output in realtime in three different group boxes. I have the initial rectangles drawn and I have code to populate the red rectangle overlays in my groupbox_paint call BUT I need to know how do I access this from another subroutine?
' '///Draw initial Rectangles in Group Boxes///
Private Sub grpBestFit_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles grpBestFit.Paint
'Code for rectangles follows but has been excluded'
I thought I could possibly treat it like a subroutine itself but this does not work. I am getting these errors when I type this command:
grpBestFit_Paint() (Trying to just call the subroutine)
Errors:
C:\Documents and Settings\TurboFreak\Desktop\School\Visual Studio Projects\Operating Systems\frmMemManCont.vb(1368): Argument not specified for parameter 'e' of 'Private Sub grpBestFit_Paint(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)'.
and
C:\Documents and Settings\TurboFreak\Desktop\School\Visual Studio Projects\Operating Systems\frmMemManCont.vb(1368): Argument not specified for parameter 'sender' of 'Private Sub grpBestFit_Paint(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)'.
Basically what I am attempting to do is show a graphical representation of a memory stick and place red rectangles over the used bits in real time as the program runs and remove those rectangles as the memory clears. These three "Memory Sticks are all in separate groupboxes. The Private sub above paints three "Memory Sticks" in the three group boxes upon initiation of program. I have the program functioning except for the ability to call this paint routine and make it redraw the rectangles as the memory usage changes. Any help in how to make this happen would be GREATLY appreciated. I can email full code upon request but chose not to place it here as it is currently over 3000 lines without including my module code. Thanks in advance.
