How do I split up my work space?

[Jeroen Ceuppens]

Hi, I have a window form, i want to create a space of 480x640 for the
continuous drawing of bitmaps and another space for setting some options...

How do I create these separate spaces? create 2 forms?
create panels (i tried it, but i can't draw on it ) or are there better
ways? The spaces must be in the same head window

Thx
JC

I want to find something like A Drawing Canvas, the "Big" Framework there is
a usercontrol for that, but in CF not, please help me to find some drawing
canvas....

Do you mean drawing for output or you want to get user input? If the latter
there are a few solutions available for signature capture e.g.

Then you can draw it directly to the form in the OnPaint method specifying
an area which does not interfere with your settings area. Or use a
PictureBox control which you can assign a Bitmap object to - either got from
a memory stream or a file for example.

There're a lot of resources that explain drawing in CF:
