Question

I need to be able to draw a polygon using mouse click locations.
Here is my current code:

 //the drawshape varible is called when a button is pressed to select use of this tool
             if (DrawShape == 4)
                {
                    Point[] pp = new Point[3];
                    pp[0] = new Point(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y);
                    pp[1] = new Point(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y);
                    pp[2] = new Point(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y);
                    Graphics G = this.CreateGraphics();
                    G.DrawPolygon(Pens.Black, pp);
                }

Thanks

Ok here is some sample code:

private List<Point> polygonPoints = new List<Point>();

private void TestForm_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    switch(e.Button)
    {
        case MouseButtons.Left:
            //draw line
            polygonPoints.Add(new Point(e.X, e.Y));
            if (polygonPoints.Count > 1)
            {
                //draw line
                this.DrawLine(polygonPoints[polygonPoints.Count - 2], polygonPoints[polygonPoints.Count - 1]);
            }
            break;

        case MouseButtons.Right:
            //finish polygon
            if (polygonPoints.Count > 2)
            {
                //draw last line
                this.DrawLine(polygonPoints[polygonPoints.Count - 1], polygonPoints[0]);
                polygonPoints.Clear();
            }
            break;
    }
}

private void DrawLine(Point p1, Point p2)
{
    Graphics G = this.CreateGraphics();
    G.DrawLine(Pens.Black, p1, p2);
}
