Invalidate picturebox with rectangle on

[Dumpen1337]

Hello.

I have a simple picturebox where there is a image loaded in

Im drawing a rectangle on the picturebox and when I press a button I want to invalidate it (remove the rectangle), but it doesnt seem to work

The rectangle is drawn fine and the image loads up to, but when I press my button nothing happens

Here is the code im using:

private void drawOnPic()
        {
            // Attach grapich to picturebox
            Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(pictureBox1.Image);

            // Create a new pen that we shall use for drawing the line
            Pen PenStyle = new Pen(Color.Red, 1);

            // Draw a 50x50 pixels rectangle (x, y, width, hight)
            g.DrawRectangle(PenStyle, 20, 20, 50, 50);
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            pictureBox1.Invalidate();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            drawOnPic();
        }

You need to invalidate before you create your image, this insures your event is fired.

In the button Click event, call the Load() method. Set the image's ImageLocation property first.

For example, in my form Load event, I load the picture box as follows:

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = @"E:\Test\Photo1.jpg";
pictureBox1.Load();

In the button click event, I do this:

pictureBox1.Load();

I hope it helps.
