  • As far as I know you can't do that, you must have some control as Canvas to draw on. – Shadow The GPT Wizard Jan 01 '12 at 11:30

It isn't possible to draw out of a form's (or control's) client area. You could make a fullscreen form (Maximized, no borders) That can have a transparent color as it's bgcolor, and just paint to it using the paint event.
