persistence?

Hey guys out there. I have recently noticed that when i draw text to a picture box in visual basic 2005 express, and then move something else over the text in the picture box, the text somehow gets "erased". I looked this up and im pretty sure it's called persistence. Is there any way I can avoid the text getting "erased"? If there is certain code required to do this, it would be helpful if i can get it. Thanks!

 

Try posting this in the .Net section, but I'll try to answer. Do you have the picture boxes auto redraw set to true?

 

lol i have to be honest- i feel like an idiot saying this, but im not completely sure how to set the auto redraw property to true or flase, but that's what i have been trying to look up

 

There is a property called auto redraw (i think)

 

in the 2005 version? I dont think i saw an auto redraw property there, but i guess thats why u said that u "think" lol.

 

What about putting the code to draw the text under the picture box's paint sub?

I don't use .net much so I don't have everything memorized.
