Question SplitContainers

[dotnetnube]

Hi,

I'm trying to draw a rectangle in 'panel2' of a split container, but can't figure out how to do this. I tried using the Paint event, but didn't get the expected result using the following code (nothing happened):

Private Sub SplitContainer1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles SplitContainer1.Paint
    Dim g As Graphics
    g = SplitContainer1.Panel2.CreateGraphics
    Dim rect As Rectangle = New Rectangle(230, 230, 100, 100)

    g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, rect)
End Sub

Thanks!

Doubleclick the Panel you want to draw on to get the Paint event handler for that panel. Use the provided e.Graphics instance to draw there.

That worked. Thank you!
