[form.][picturebox.]CLS
Usage Notes
■ If no object is specified, CLS behavior is determined by its location
in code:
• If CLS is in a form module, it is a method, and applies to the default
form.
• If CLS is in a non-form module, it is a statement, and applies to the
entire screen. See: ◄CLS Statement►
■ The CLS method clears text generated at run time with the PRINT method.
See: ◄PRINT Method►
■ Background images and controls placed on the form are not affected by
the CLS method.
■ Text placed on a form or picture box while AutoRedraw is True (-1) is
not affected by CLS if AutoRedraw is set to False (0) before CLS is
executed. By carefully manipulating the AutoRedraw property of a form
or picture box, some degree of permanence can be achieved.
See: ◄AutoRedraw Property►
■ After the CLS method is executed, the CurrentX and CurrentY properties
of the form or picture box are reset to 0.
