Hi, I am using Realbasic 2006 demo, I just converted a simple VB app
that draws to a Picture Box using the PictureBox.PSet command. How do I
do this in RealBasic? and what control do I replace the Picture Box
with?
I've never used a Picture Box, but I imagine it's a rectangular
control that displays a picture, right? In REALbasic you would use a
Canvas control instead. A Canvas is actually much more than a picture
box; it's sort of a do-everything control, that can draw whatever you
want and respond to any user events. But it can also draw a picture
as its "backdrop" (on which you can draw additional stuff, or not, as
you wish). So you'd replace the PSet command with:
Canvas1.Backdrop = somePicture
where Canvas1 is the name of your Canvas, and somePicture is a
reference to some picture.
Best,

To not answer the OP's question, :-), VB's PictureBox is a graphical
control that can accept all of the graphic functions that were in
GW/Q/Quickbasic such as PSet, PreSet, Line, Circle, CLS, Paint, etc etc
etc. I've been away from VB for a couple years, but I think you could
also print text to it, too.
