Hello, I considering using VB for some FAST prototyping. Does VB have many graphics based functions for Windows such as lines, arc, etc. Thanks in advance, winefred There are 2 Replies.

Yes, you can do lines, etc. in the Picture control. Just look up LINE in the help, and there is an example. Selden

Winefred, Yes. VB is great for prototyping graphics applications (and not bad for writing a real graphics app!). It's got Line, Arc, Circle (ellipse), box, and so on. Anything that can't be done in VB, can easily be done by calling the Windows GDI functions (like ExtFloodFill, Polygon, etc.). – Ted
