Clear problem

Hi!

I have a picture box which i am drawing on. Here's the code i am using:

Private sub timer_tick

Picture1.creategraphics.clear(Color.white)

for i = 1 to 999
Picture1.creategraphics.drawstring( i ,font, brushes.black , i * 25 - SCROLLBAR.value , 0 )
next i

End sub


The problem is when the screen clears white, you can see flashes of white.

Is there anyway to fix this? i remember it never done this in vb6.

Any help would be great thanks!

P.S:The code might not be EXACLY right, becuase i am not at vb.net at the moment. but you should be able to understand it.

The flashing is most likely a result of all the overhead you've got going there. Every time that timer ticks, you're calling CreateGraphics about 1000 times. So I recommend 2 things: 1) write a better organized (and more proper) sub (check out this site for info on better ways to do this stuff: http://www.bobpowell.net/faqmain.htm) and 2) learn about double buffering.

This never happened in vb6 and i used toput it throught more than 8000 drawing function :huh:

Well, you can get performance similar to VB6 out of .Net-- just not the way you're doing it. The suggestions in my earlier post will help you find the proper way of doing things.
