Question

i have a winform that needs to print a chessboard, i have a table with some controls in it.

what i did was to set it invisible when the form loads

private void Chess_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PromotionTable.Visible =false;
}

and then make it visible once the function is triggered.

public void piecePromotionChange(Pieces[,] pieces, int rowEnd2, int columnEnd2, bool blackOrNot)
{
    PromotionTable.Visible = true;
}

but it still remains, invisible 🙁

Answer 1

You’ll need to invalidate/refresh that portion of the screen. Setting the Visible property does not trigger a redraw..

PromotionTable.Visible=true;
PromotionTable.Invalidate();
myForm.Refresh();
