Re: Deprecated "Graphics" dropped

Hi Daniel,
What you want to do is create properties for any variables like color, font e=
tc that you want to set in your mouse down event.=20

You then use the graphics object in the paint event to draw the rectangle, a=
fter populating the graphics object with the variable properties that you se=
t your mousedown event.

It=E2=80=99s super simple to achieve the same functionality once you get the=
 hang of it.

Merry Christmas!
