In paint event because i want to be able to control the dots size colors and more properties.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Test
{
public partial class LoadingLabel : UserControl
{
public LoadingLabel()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void LoadingLabel_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void LoadingLabel_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
e.Graphics.FillEllipse(Brushes.Red, 1, 1, 20, 20);
Thread.Sleep(1);
e.Graphics.FillEllipse(Brushes.Red, 1, 1, 0, 0);
Thread.Sleep(1);
}
}
}
i tried first to make a simple dot that is disappearing after some time and then show again but it's not working i see a red still dot(point).
later when this will work i want to make 3 dots animating like a loading animation.
This is what i tried :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Test
{
public partial class LoadingLabel : UserControl
{
private bool animate = false;
public LoadingLabel()
{
InitializeComponent();
timer1.Enabled = true;
}
private void LoadingLabel_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void LoadingLabel_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
if (animate == false)
{
e.Graphics.FillEllipse(Brushes.Red, 1, 1, 20, 20);
}
else
{
e.Graphics.FillEllipse(Brushes.Red, 5, 1, 20, 20);
}
}
int count = 0;
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
count ;
if(count == 10 && animate == false)
{
animate = true;
}
if(count == 20 && animate)
{
animate = false;
count = 0;
}
this.Invalidate();
}
}
}
the result is the first point draw then the second point draw but the first one is gone :
it looks like the point is moving to the right and back to the left.
