Simulating a moving rectangle using GDI+

Hi guys, I'm trying to simulate a rectangle that moves with a velocity of V from point A to point B. The two points are connected through a line that I draw by overriding the OnPaint method of a Form.

The thing that looks like a challenge to me is how to set when the location of the rectangle should be updated. Am I going to need a timer? or ...

Any idea is appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Solution 2

You need timer, and use that in tick event, set the co-ordinates of the rectangle and validate the form.

Solution 1

You can use timer and in tick event set the coordinates of rectangle and invalidate the form to refresh it.
