Neither do I, especially after seeing how long it took to place 1024 in a 32x32 grid

My idea was to have 48 buttons at the bottom of the screen that show a range of colour in a set band i.e. reds, yellows, blues and greens etc, selected by a tab like control.

I have to admit that I'm learning by trial and error, and this seems to be particularly challenging.
I'm sure that my original suggestion of a calculator would have been far easier

I'll PM you my code so that you can see what I'm on with. At the moment there isn't very much as I'm trying to keep it as compact as I can. It's also been done on the device and so as usual I'm finding that it doesn't display or work exactly the same on the desktop. The grid is slightly out of position to the pen marks and I'm using a MouseMove event, which on the Device works perfectly, but on the desktop it causes the pen to draw even when not holding the mouse button down.
