Abed AlSayed asked:

Open original thread
Hello, I'm trying to make a drawing board tha support adding shapes and images. for pencil I use this code and I don't think that there is a way to erase it but just trying:
VB
            Dim lin As New Line
            lin.Stroke = New SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(100, 255, 0, 0))
            lin.StrokeThickness = 5
'lastpnt is the LastPoint added to continue the drawing and it will be null on mouse_up Event
            If Not lastpnt = Nothing Then
                lin.X1 = lastpnt.X
                lin.Y1 = lastpnt.Y
                lin.X2 = position.X
                lin.Y2 = position.Y
                lastpnt.X = position.X
                lastpnt.Y = position.Y
            Else
                lin.X1 = position.X
                lin.Y1 = position.Y
                lin.X2 = position.X
                lin.Y2 = position.Y
                lastpnt.X = position.X
                lastpnt.Y = position.Y
            End If
            Canvas1.Children.Add(lin)


I can make the eraser the same as background color but what if the back color was transparent or was an image ????
I will now read the 'InkCanvas' source code trying to find another way to draw and erase.

Note : I didn't use inkcanvas due to no support adding images above the ink drawing and then drawing on image (I don't know how to explain but its like ink and Images zOrder)
