Paint Program.

[Frost35]

Hello all. Here's a paint program I've been working on for a little bit for school. I tried to get the offscreenonly/View.Update to work, but it just kept lagging the program :S.

It's semi-big (495 lines), so I've added it as an attachment.

Anyway, suggestions/comments appreciated

not bad at all

a couple of suggestions:

-make the fill command only fill in the colour that you clicked on instead of the whole screen.
-when youre drawing lines, it should have a preview of where you're drawing it instead of having to guess
-same as above to your "bonus" features such as star and box.

other than that it was pretty good. whould be nice if you could fix that flickering too.

thx. I saw some code on here that had the "preview" but I couldn't quite understand it, and I didn't want to use it unless I did. Also for all the previewing, it flickers like mad, and I'm still working on where to put the View.Updates.

The fill screen thing is doable, not exactly sure how though.

I updated the program with a few things, and cleaned up the code some more.

thx, but I know how to search. If I wanted to search for an answer I would have. I never asked how, and wasn't expecting someone to tell me. Thx though
