Re: TCanvas

Hi Eber,

TCanvas is not a component (TComponent). Many visual components have a
property 'Canvas' which you can use. If you want to draw on your form
you can use

   YourForm.Canvas.MoveTo(10, 10);
   YourForm.Canvas.LineTo(100, 100);

Code that paints something is usually placed in an OnPaint-Event (in
the upper case of YourForm). This code is automatically executed
whenever the form needs to be repainted eg when the form is brought to
top again.

If you want to draw something that exceeds the forms size you should
place a PaintBox within a ScrollBox on the form. Then you can set the
width and height of the PaintBox to the size you need an the scrollbox
shows scrollbars if needed. To draw stuff use the PaintBox.Canvas in
the PaintBox.OnPaint.

HTH.
