Hello, I am going to teach you how to make a painting program in Visual Basic 6. First, open Visual Basic 6 and select "Standard Exe" and click "OK". Now, get a picturebox from the toolbox to the left. Make it as big as you want, and then go to it's properties at the bottom right hand side of the Visual Basic program and change the "Name" property and change it to picDraw. Change the "Appearance" property to 1-Flat. Next, Make a button and go to it's properties and change the "Caption" property to Blue. Now, this is just a simple tutorial, so I am just going to make one option besides painting. OK, right-click the form and click "View Code". Go to the General Declarations section of the form and type:

Code: Select all

Dim Drawing As Boolean

Now, go to the picDraw MouseDown part of the form and type:

Code: Select all

Drawing = True
picDraw.CurrentX = X
picDraw.CurrentY = Y

Go to the picDraw MouseMove part and type:

Code: Select all

If Drawing = True Then
picDraw.Line - (X, Y), picDraw.ForeColor
End If

Now, go to the picDraw MouseUp and type:

Code: Select all

Drawing = False

Go to the Command1 Click and type:

Code: Select all

picDraw.ForeColor = vbBlue

Finally, go to the Form Load and type:

Code: Select all

Drawing = False

I hope this tutorial helped you!
