OOP Beginner question

[shachar]

hi all.
i'm writing a simple board game and i have 3 classes:
1)MyGameForm - a vb form
2)BoardGame - class
3)Cell - class
MyGameForm Contains BoardGame.
BoardGame Contains Cell.
on the MyGameForm Form i have a picturebox with the
pictur of the board, and another picturebox (pic1)that
moves when the player clicks on the board.
on the click event i want to call the "DrawCell" method
of the Cell class, and move the pic1 to a certain
cordinates.
BUT - how can i move controls(pic1) on MyGameForm from
Cell?

Shachar,

First something basic, in my opinion is a control painted on a screen and
therefore is for us the form the layer.

This is the wrong way to think about it.

You would be better getting the paint event of the form to call a DrawBoard
method in the Board class which called the Drawcell in the cell class. The
Paint event would pass its Graphics to the board which would then pass it to
the cell.

You can either set the control's 'Left' and 'Top' properties or its
'Location' property.
