Winform not scrolling when drawing objects on it
- by dezkev
Hello All,
C#3.0,.net framework 3.5
I am drawing ( using the draw method in the graphics class) a lot of solid rectangles on a windows form vertically. The form starts at 500 x 500 px and the rectangles are only drawn at runtime after data is downloaded from the net -and the number of rectangles depends on the download so I do not know it upfront.
So only a few rectangles are drawn as the size of the form is fixed.
So I googled/Binged ( lest someone suggest I do that) and found a few tips but they don't work in this case -like setting the forms AutoScroll property to true or trying double buffering.I also tried to draw on a listbox control and set it's scroll property etc...but no dice.
I'm guessing there is no way to display , say 200 rectangles vertically on a windows form using draw. I need some other solution... any ideas please.
Maybe a list of pictureboxes and then populate each picturebox with the solid color ?
Thanks
