Q: 

How to draw on the Parent control from inside the UserControl

Hi all,

The Graphics object in UserControl.Paint event makes sure that contents are drawn within the boundary of the user control. I guess the same graphics object is used to draw the entire window (by passing different clipping regions for different controls inside the form).

My question is, is there a trick/hack with which, the Parent can be updated from within the UserControl?

I tried hooking on to the Parent.Paint event, but it makes the VS to hang. I suspect it to be an infinite looping where parent is drawing its children but one of its child is causing the parent to Invalidate()..!!

Is there a solution without using the Parent.Paint?

Thanks
