circles erased ??
 
Hello, first you need to know that this is my first Win Application made in C#!!

I`m trying to draw some circles based on mouse left click coordinates but the circles disappear when I minimize the window, Solutions found on the internet didn`t helped me too much :(. Here is my code:

u
sing System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;


namespace GraphCApplication1
{
        /// <summary>
        /// Summary description for Form1.
        /// </summary>
        public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
        {
                int i=0, x, y;
                String s = "";
                /// <summary>
                /// Required designer variable.
                /// </summary>
                private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

                public Form1()
                {
                        //
                        // Required for Windows Form Designer support
                        //
                        InitializeComponent();
                       

                        //
                        // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
                        //
                }

                /// <summary>
                /// Clean up any resources being used.
                /// </summary>
                protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
                {
                        if( disposing )
                        {
                                if (components != null)
                                {
                                        components.Dispose();
                                }
                        }
                        base.Dispose( disposing );
                }
                protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
                {
                        base.OnPaint (e);
                }

What I would do is create a data structure to keep track of the places you have clicked and any corresponding info you need, then when the form is minimized/maximized/given focus/whatever else, redraw all the circles.

What i think is happening, is the form 'forgets' whats been drawn when you minimize it, not sure about this as I'm no expert, but storing what you need and re-drawing when required should fix it.

Actually, I think you need to put the code
this.Invalidate()
in the minimized event handler or similar.

Looks like invalidate will solve this problem. There's always an easier way to do it :)
My solution would work, its just needlessly complicated.
