Draw Lines from coordinates

[marcin2k]

I have a string with a bunch of x and y coordinates. I was wondering is there anything in Access like there is a picture box in Visual Basic for CE so that I can just write
Object.Line coordinates or Object.DrawLine coordinates
I noticed I can do this on a report, but I need to do it on a form.

Thanks any help is would be great,
Marcin

Marcin,

As far as I know, the closest you can get is to create the lines, set their Left, Top, Width & Height properties to zero and then adjust those properties with the Move method.

The below has a box grow out of the top left corner of the form.

For intL = 1 To Me.Form.Section(acdeatail).Height / 2
bx01.Move intL, intL, intL, intL
Me.Repaint
Next intL

If you just want a line or box to appear at a specific point, remove the Me.Repaint. (I like the drama)

you can use some of the graphics controls (Unbound Object Fram, Image, etc) and draw "On Screen". You can also draw directly on a Report, but you need to do this within the report and section with information (data) available to the report at run time.

An alternative (although somewhat limited and QUITE arcane) is use the Chart applet, again with "data".

Thanks for the help, I actually found a Picture Box for VBA that someone has coded. It has the same commands that a regular picture box has.
