I would use NumericUpDown controls for numeric input, it also have ValueChanged event that I would use to change the drawing parameters and force a repaint. Here's a sample:

Private ellipseRec As New Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100)

Private Sub NumericUpDowns_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NumericUpDownX.ValueChanged, NumericUpDownY.ValueChanged
    ellipseRec.Location = New Point(CInt(Me.NumericUpDownX.Value), CInt(Me.NumericUpDownY.Value))
    Me.Refresh()
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
    e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, ellipseRec)
End Sub
