Repaint Method

Redraws the control.

Syntax

Public Sub Repaint()

Remarks

The Repaint method redraws the control. It is used when you dynamically modify the image displayed using the methods of the Bitmap object, in order to update the control.

This example draws 20 random points in an image each time the button is clicked:

Private bm as New Bitmap

Private Sub Form_Load()
  bm.Create 100, 40
  Set Picture1.Image=bm
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click()
  Dim i as Integer, c as Long
  Dim x as Integer, y as Integer
  
  For i = 1 To 20
    x = Rnd()*100
    y = Rnd()*40
    c = Rnd()*Color(255,255,255)
    bm.PutPixel x, y, c
  Next i
  
  bm.Flush
  Picture1.Repaint
End Sub
