No, not good at all :>
TPaintBox should be on the System page of the component palette... the
icon looks like a paintbrush drawing onto a panel.
If you're going to use a TPaintBox I'd suggest allocating a TBitmap to
draw onto, then blit the contents of the bitmap to the paintbox in the
TPaintBox::OnPaint event. Either that or put the drawing code in the
OnPaint, although that makes debugging a pain as it gets called
whenever a section of the paintbox needs to be redrawn, including when
the application gets focus after being covered by the debug windows :>
