Background Gradient Fill (VB)

Background Gradient Fill

 

Hey Everyone,

 

I'm trying to paint a background gradient on my forms, but I can't intercept the Form1_Paint because there is no WithEvents declared. Can someone help me out with where I should place the WithEvents code (and what it should read) or if there is another method I should use to give the background a gradient fill ..

 

Thanks!

M.

The Paint event is the correct event to paint in. The WithEvents

keyword goes in the Form1's declaration.

 

The declaration also has to be outside any methods, in the

General Declarations section of a class.

 

Dim WithEvents myForm As New Form1()

 

To create an event handler for the Paint event, you'd have a sub

declaration like this:

Private Sub myForm_Paint(sender As Object, e As PaintEventArgs) Handles myForm.Paint

If he's trying to write the code in the form itself, he doesn't need a withevents - he should just select Base Class Events in the left combo box and Paint in the right.
