I am trying to use the paint event on my game.
Basically, i want to use the paint event of any given form to paint anything at any time.
I tried adding a handler to the form like:

Addhandler FormName.Paint, AddressOf Paintsub

But it wont work properly.

Can you show us the Paintsub routine? Where are you adding this handler?

[Jondeate]

Paintsub would contain the code that would be in form1 paint event.
That would be

   Dim imgBmp As New Bitmap(Imagehere.)
        imgBmp.MakeTransparent(Color.white)
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(New Bitmap(imgBmp), 15, 20)

im adding the handler inside of a class function.

What class function? Are you sure this Addhandler is getting called? I am still confused, what is not working?

Here i made an example.

Public Class Class1
    Sub Image(ByVal formname As Form)
        AddHandler formname.Paint, AddressOf paintsub
    End Sub

    Sub paintsub()
        Dim imgBmp As New Bitmap(My.Resources.bandera)
        imgBmp.MakeTransparent(Color.White)
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(New Bitmap(imgBmp), 15, 20)
    End Sub
End Class

Error says e is not declared. i thought adding a handler would perform any actions as if it was done in the form paint event.

The paint event has a signature (sender As Object, e As PaintEventArgs). This just seems like a strange way to do this.

So i should put that into the sub?

Public Class Class1
    Sub Image(ByVal formname As Form)
        AddHandler formname.Paint, AddressOf paintsub
    End Sub

    Sub paintsub(sender As Object, e As PaintEventArgs)
        Dim imgBmp As New Bitmap(My.Resources.bandera)
        imgBmp.MakeTransparent(Color.White)
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(New Bitmap(imgBmp), 15, 20)
    End Sub
End Class
