Convert An Image To Black And White Before Displaying It In A PictureBox?
Jun 20, 2009
Is there a way to convert an Image to Black and white before displaying it in a PictureBox? Or is there a way to make a PictureBox display color images in black and white?
i need a windows program (on visual basic express) to convert a list of images to black and white. then to send it to a microcontroller via ethernet. i dont know anything about vb at the moment so simple explanations and code would be great. in the meantime i will try learning vb. but i need this program quick.
He wanted to know how they can do to convert a portion of the form that you see only blue or black and white. I mean, the user presses a button and all that is in the form sees only blue or black and white only.
I have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dll plugins which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (a double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I load the form from the dll and show it, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker? Or am I going in the wrong direction?
Here's a couple of videos of the problem: [url] [url]

I have a color printer but I would like to force it to print in black and white (monochrome).I tried to use PageSettings.Color = false but it doesn't work.I tried to make my code as simple as possible and put PageSettings.Color = false at various places but it still doesn't work.[code]
I been playing around with some code I found on internet and I am probably almost where I need to be. Using the printdocument I am able to get the active form in my project to print. That works fine. MY nextr issue was to get the form to print so that it is Black & white. No shading etc.. So I found a routine on internet that will take image and turn to B&W. Problem: IF a text box fields background color is too dark then the entire box shows up in black. If a text box field data is Selected it also is too dark and comes out white.her is code I found for turnign to B&W
Public Function PureBW(ByVal image As System.Drawing.Bitmap, Optional ByVal Mode As BWMode = BWMode.By_Lightness, Optional ByVal tolerance As Single = 0) As System.Drawing.Bitmap Dim x As Integer
the reason for setting both is that otherwise the cursor will not always have the desired appearance. I know that cursors can be rendered in color, like 3D-Bronze, windows animated, hands and variations.
I use crystal reports, vb visual studio 2008 to print my reports. I read an Image from SQL (which is a barcode) and I want to print this bar code in Black & white.

How does the CheckBox control draw that black check mark in the white box? I can't install .Net Reflector or anything here on my work machine so could someone post the code (vb.net or c# is fine with me)?
Or if anyone knows how to do it (I have an 8x8 Bitmap object I'm drawing on already) I'd like a hand since my math isn't working out correctly[code]...
I am using a PictureBox to display images. I have SizeMode set to StretchImage. While this does indeed show the whole image, it is of coure stretched.

In my project I am using a camera to capture images. The images will be stored in a byte array. Now I want to display my images in byte array to picture box on my form. I am pasting the code bit below.
HTML Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (ByRef Destination As Byte, ByRef Source As Byte, ByVal Length As Integer) Delegate Sub MyFrameHookerDelegate(ByVal FrameType As Integer, ByVal row As Integer, ByVal Column As Integer, ByRef lpImageAttribute As TIMAGEATTACHDATA, ByRef Buffer As Byte) Public ImageBuf() As Byte [Code] ....
I want to display the image from ImageBuf() to a picture box on my form.
I am working on a project that I wish to convert the picturebox image to acting as glass effect. What I mean that I would be able to see any controls behind the picturebox control. Something would be like this:[URL]..

so in RGB black would be 0-0-0 but how would i have it scan the pixtuebox and count how many pixels show up with the rgb color 0-0-0
i was searching google for some kind solution and i found one, i tried to implement it in my code but it doesn't work. The problem is that after resizing white images they gets gray border.Here is the link of soloution i found:It says:
This problem is occuring because you are interpolating your image data to a new size, but along the edges there are no pixels to interpolate and .NET uses black pixels for these edges by default. To fix this you need to use an ImageAttributes class in your DrawImage call....

CODE 1: And this is my code WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF ImageAttributes:
Private Shared Function ResizeImageFile(ByVal imageFile As Byte(), ByVal targetSize As Integer) As Byte()
Using oldImage As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(imageFile))
Dim newSize As Size = CalculateDimensions(oldImage.Size, targetSize)[code].......
When uploading images SOMETIMES I get the following lines going along the left handside of the image, and along the top, going the full width and height of the image.I'm simply uploading the image and drawing as a Bitmap and using the Graphics Class to save down.[code]
