I want to draw a line (very straight , soft) with vb6 like other programs
like flash,word

hi gfak,
Using the standard VB Line control, u can't make a SOFT line... but i think u can make 2 lines, which would make it 3d type.. the actual line should b a bit bigger than the other line, and should b a single pixel above it.. that'd b a good approach i guess   Hope that helps...

Hi there,
First of all you must have  hdc of the contxt you want to draw at.its actually a drawing context handle.Then if you have the drawing handle you can draw anything on the context.for drawing smooth lines you can use the API MoveTo and LineTo.
But for drawing lines of any specific width and type you must have to make a pen and select it in the context.
For example:

'Module code: Public Declare Function LineTo Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long) As Long Public Declare Function MoveToEx Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long Public Type POINTAPI         X As Long         Y As Long End Type Public point As POINTAPI ' This code will draw a line in the hdc from 10,10 to 100,100 Call MoveToEx(hdc,10,10,point) Call LineTo(hdc,100,100)
