Redisplaying graphics objects when form is maximized??

Question

Is there a certain trick to keeping the graphics objects from vanishing when the form is minimized? Would i just need to call the draw method for that particular object again in the paint event? Also, is the object actually still there on the form, even though it isn't visible after the form is maximized? Thanks!!

I am glad you liked the book. An author always appreciate when readers like the book and much appreciate when write a review about it on Amazon ;). If you read Performance ..  chapter you can understand the drawing process better and events involve in the process.

Usually the drawing code should be on the paint event to make sure every thing form needs to repaint the objects are there. Try calling your drawing methods on paint event handler. Yes objects should be there if they are not defined locally within a particular method.
