[Help] Deleting drawn graphics

Hey guys, I'm using this code to draw an ellipse at the point the cursor is currently at.

[php]
Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove

Dim myGraphics As Graphics

myGraphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(ActiveForm().Handle)

myGraphics.DrawEllipse(pen:=New Pen(Color.Green), _
rect:=New Rectangle(x:=(e.X - 35), y:=(e.Y - 35), Width:=70, Height:=70))

myGraphics.Dispose()

End Sub
[/php]

However, I need it to first delete the previously drawn graphic from the form before drawing then next one as this is the effect im currently getting.

But what I want is just for a circle to follow the pointer wherever it goes.

Help?

i guess you can just clear the whole form.

(Event mouse move)
Clear all (xx.Clear(color) if not wrong..)
Draw new circle

Code:

Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove

        Dim myGraphics As Graphics


        myGraphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(ActiveForm().Handle)

        myGraphics.Clear(Color.Green)

        myGraphics.DrawEllipse(pen:=New Pen(Color.Green), _
        rect:=New Rectangle(x:=(e.X - 35), y:=(e.Y - 35), Width:=70, Height:=70))

        myGraphics.Dispose()


    End Sub

like this or so.. not quite sure since i dont code in Vb.

Exactly. I'm doing a basic shooting game so I need to draw the crosshair at cursor as it moves.
