I have a picturebox display an image of a spacey background. In the IDE, everything looks how it should be. However, when I go to debug, an image that I had used previously as the picturebox image shows up, not the current one

The VB format() function has a bug in it that has existed for nearly 20 years! One would do this if communicating with devices that use fixed length HEX strings.
Ex: Something = Format(Hex(n), 00)
Note that the expected results occur when n = 0 to 255 EXCEPT when n=42 ... "00" is returned not "2A"! Truly an outright bug! VB up to and including .NET 2005 does this.
Testing in .NET 2010, it appears that now when a string is the passed value parameter, just the format string is echoed back.Not really fixed but functionality removed sometime between 2005 and 2010 versions.
Knowing this, I simply use my own wrapper function in all VB versions to do the formatting:
Something = PadLeftZeros( Hex(n), 2 )
Private Function PadLeftZeros(s As String, ByVal length As Integer) As String
' dumb function
To pad leading zeros to number string. Could be done many ways, this is just one primitive one.
Dim n As Integer
n = Len(s)
If n = length Then

View 2 RepliesI have a PaintEventHandler connected to a picturebox via AddHandler.
In PaintEventHandler I have coded this for writing the drawing to PictureBox1.Image:
Dim PictureBox1 As PictureBox = CType(sender, PictureBox)
PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim bmp As Image = PictureBox1.Image
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
... drawing something ...
PictureBox1.Image = bmp
Everything works fine but after running through the paint event handler and showing the picture on the screen it calls the painthandler again and again. It does not stop.
Replacing the code above with
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Makes it running. But then I cant save the Image to a file.
I have a program I'm working on that, for one of the features, allows the user to drag an image from a picturebox, into the main form space, anywhere they want. [code]...

Hey I am making a GDI++ game in vb.net. Now what I want is the monster(picturebox) to go after the player(picturebox). There Are No Vertical Walls. Only The Edge of map barriers. For example to get to the player the AI would have to go to the end of the ledge and either jump off and fall to the lower ledge or take the ladder down. There is no jumping, only falling and going up and down ladders and across the horizontal ledges. So How Can I make this pathfinding system?

I need to plot some analog values read from the serial port.I plot them in a picturebox starting from left. When I reach the end of the control at the right side I shift all values to the left of a point and I plot the new point at the right, (I have some flickering but it could be acceptable). This is my plotting control.My problem is that I have to clear the control (picturebox) in order to plot the shifted graph, but the method Clear of the Graphics class clears everything inside the picturebox, even my grid.How can i make always visible a grid "in" my picturebox?
1.a transparent image with a grid over the PB? (the clear method cannot remove it)
2.an image with a grid below the picturebox that must be with a transparent background to make visible the grid?
3.multiple layers on the same picturebox?
i'm doing a simple form tat could add picturebox during runtime and i could add several picture into it.
View 5 RepliesOk, so I have a new challenge for the D.I.C. Heads. I'm making a simple little game using VB controls. I know it's not the best idea in the world but it'll have to do for now!
Here is whats happening. I've created a class that inherits the PictureBox control that I want to use to place my game pieces on the playing field.
Dim pbArmyUnit(0) As ArmyUnit ' ArmyUnit is a Class that inherits Picturebox now I create the playing pieces at runtime as needed and append them to the array. Player currently buys the units and places them on the playing field.
[Code]...
On a side note how can I look at a stack of pictureboxes all created at runtime to determine whats at a particular location? Example. I move my army unit over top of the picturebox that shows my forest. How can I tell what picturebox I just moved on top of? does that make sense? I don't need code for this just directions on looking at the right info so I can figure it out.
I am creating my terrain at runtime as well since it's randomly generated. and I'm basically making an array of 192 pictureboxes with the appropriate terrain image as well as some other modifiers. Just like with my armies above I've inherited picturebox and created a terrain class array, this way I'm able to add my movement modifiers etc, directly to the picturebox I place on the screen. It's these pieces of terrain that I want to be able to check before allowing the unit to move into them! to get movement costs etc.
how do i create an event for MouseEnter but instead of the mouse a picturebox?
View 5 RepliesI have a picturebox on a form. The image in the picturebox is actually a report. I want it so if the user clicks on it it will zoom larger --- while the picturebox remains the same size. Of course, the entire image will no longer be seen. So I also want to be able to drap this image around with the cursor. The examples I've found for picturebox zooming cause the picturebox itself to get bigger and smaller. I need it to be like an Access report. Click on the report and it gets bigger. Click again and it goes back to the full image. Does anyone know of an example or tutorial in VB.Net for this type of zoom-with-fixed-size picturebox function?

But for some reason the newPictureBox with image from "ptext" does not show up on the form. When I specify the new Point to be something like, (50,50) instead of getting the first pictureBox coordinates, the new pictureBox shows up in the right place.
Am I using System.Drawing.Point wrong? Or is there some other error that I'm making?

I am trying to make a picturebox follow another picturebox. But I also want this picturebox to be able to collide with the other picturebox if the picturbox stops. I hope this is not too confusing.

View 4 RepliesIn VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?
