graphic window checker board game......

[Supra]

i got board working using graphic window in vb.net but no controls
adding to form. i am doing checker board game. when i clicked and moved
the peg to another location(grid). but how do i get bitmap or image to
make invisible.

here is code for mouseevent:

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
Me.PegPicking = True
If Me.PegPicking = True Then
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias
DrawingUtility.DrawPeg(g, New Rectangle(Me.mPosition.X
- 15, Me.mPosition.Y - 15, 30, 30), Me.PelleteColors(0))
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighSpeed

End If
' Invalidate()
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseMove(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
' change Position to current mouse Position
Me.mPosition = New Point(e.X, e.Y)
' Repaint to Show Effect
Invalidate()
' End If
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseUp(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
Me.PegPicking = True
'Inserting Pegs but only is Game is Active
Invalidate()
End Sub

how do i make bitmap or image invisible or something like disappearing?

I dont really know how you have written this. But one approach might be to
repaint a sqare either with or without the peg, depending on the underlying
matrix properties ( assuming you have coded it like this. )

Theres no picture attached, but if there were it would not help.
Store the position of pegs in a class level variable.
Do ALL your drawing in the forms Paint method.
In your mouse events, update the position of the current peg and Invalidate
the form, preferably passing a rectangle to the Invalidate call so that only
the relevant part of the form gets painted.

here is code for red peg image:
Private Function CreateRedImageSquares() As Image
Dim img As Image
img = New Bitmap(60, 60) 'create square 60 * 60
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(img)
g.Clear(Me.BackColor)
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.AntiAlias
rb = New Rectangle(1, 1, 150, 150)
Dim sb As New SolidBrush(Color.Red)
g.FillRectangle(sb, rb)
Return img
End Function

Private Sub drawDraughts()
' Create Offscreen Bitmap with width and height equal to
that of Form
OffScreenBitmap = New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)
g = Graphics.FromImage(OffScreenBitmap)
RedImageSquares = Me.CreateRedImageSquares
BlackImageSquare = Me.CreateBlackImageSquares
PegImages = CreatePegImages(2)
End Sub

the pb is if u clicked peg(mousedown) i wanted that image disappearred
and place another location. but i have red peg on new location.... that
fine, but can't deleteed previously.
another ideas.....if i clicked red peg, get the black colour and paint
over red peg image to make invisible....is that good ideas. but how do i
changed to blk colour?
ne hint u can give me?
regards

Normally I add a Picturebox to the form for drawing, but here, for
demonstration, I just used the BackGroundImage of the form.

Start a new project and paste the code below AFTER the
'Windows Form designer generated code' section. Run the
program and click on the checkerboard to see the yellow
marker mark the square. Of course, instead of a yellow
marker, you could be drawing actual game pieces, or
whatever. Do note that I only create 1 bitmap for the
entire time the form is loaded.
