Bitmap Effects (Firmware 2.0) Change The Source Of An Image In WPF
Sep 2, 2009
I think that changing from WinForms to WPF just because the blur effect is easier to do in WPF is the stupiest thing i can do right now it took me time to understand how the windows form application works i dont even how change the source of an image in WPF so here we are again. how to blur a speciefied image using CODE ONLY ?
See what im trying to do:
1. Imagine that you turn on your pc. takes some time to load.
2. Finally for the first time you are on the desktop.
3. Before you do something after every icon is loaded my program
takes a picture of the desktop and blurs it.
4. then it runs fullscreen showing the desktop behind as blurred and
not giving you access to the desktop.
5. a login/register border pops up
6. if you login the program closes if you dont it stays there
waiting for you to login or register.
I wont use it that way im planning to do it on the startup of my program only blur the window not the screen (i mean the content of my window) untill you login or register then it clears again. What i need to learn:
1. How to take a screenshot of my program (only yhe content of the window) [Progress: 1% (cause i know how to take a screenshot of the desktop)]
2. How to blur that image [Progress: 100%]
No need for third party programs or dlls i mean isnt there a default function in vb.net the stupiest way to do it?

Back when I used to use an 8 bit home computer I dabbled in machine code with an old version of BASIC which allowed you to POKE values into memory and then call the 1st memory location to execute that code. I used the equivalent HEX values for the processor which ran a series of ROR ( ROtate Right ) or ROL ( ROtate Left )commands through the carry bit as each line of the bitmap consisted of a series of bytes which were an 8 bit BYTE followed by the next BYTE in memory. The effects that I manage to create "in assembly language" as it were:
Scroll leftScroll right By manipulating full bytes in memory I created routines to:Flip the image horizontallyFlip the image verticallyTurn the image upside down Anyway, if you were to try this with the BASIC equivalent to GET and SET pixels, obviously the BASIC was a LOT slower. I am also interested in creating animated bitmaps from one or two images such as the following:Page turn effect.Sliding-in of an image in any direction.Ripple effect.Scratch effect.

I've got a function that's supposed to extract and return a 32x32px bitmap from a larger bitmap which has a set of 32x32 tiles inside it.
Here's the code I have now, but it's wrong since the Tile.GFX_Pos properties are telling it where in the destination image to draw, not where in the source image to draw from.
Overloads Shared Function TileGFX(ByVal SrcGFX As Bitmap, ByVal Tile As TileDef) As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Try
[Code]....
So since this doesn't work, what I'm wondering is if anyone knows a good way to select where in the SrcGFX bitmap to blit from, instead of (as currently and incorrectly) selecting where in the destination bitmap to blit to.

I have a VB.NET Windows Forms app with a logo image on the form as a System.Drawing.Bitmap inside a PictureBox.I used the Visual Studio Designer to add the logo .bmp image so I don't currently have any VB code doing anything with it.I'd like to make the current logo a clickable object/button so when I click on it a file browser dialog opens and I can select a new image to replace the current image.The current image is a local resource and is set in a PictureBox as a System.Drawing.Bitmap.How would I replace that System.Drawing.Bitmap with a file selected from the file browser dialog?

I want to be able to change an image depending on what is selected in the drop down box. I have this JS code to change the image. Simplified of course.
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeImage() {
var oDDL = document.all("ddlNAME");
var NAME= oDDL.options[oDDL.selectedIndex].text;
switch(NAME) {
[Code] .....
When I call this function I do it in my DDL implementation.
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlNAME" runat="server" OnTextChanged="changeImage()" >
But for some reason the changeImage() is not firing. It is giving me an error saying
'changeImage' is not a member of 'ASP.default_aspx'

It uses capCreateCaptureWindowA
But this technique displays a blank screen when trying to capture a WDM device. So i am back to square one. There must be a snippet of code out there somewhere to do this.

I need to read a bitmap generated with paint or similar programs and interpert the picture to detect straight lines of black, larger squares in red and smaller squares of yellow, green or red. Which one of the Visual Basic environments are is best suited for this? WPF or Forms or..The lines represent walls and for start we have square objects as obsticles. I would like to create a maze and allow a dot to travel between obstacles leaving a trace of pixels and not hit any of the objects untill it exits.
I like to write the logic for it but I do not know how would I read a 500x500 pixel picture and decode the colors of each pixel. I like to assign a byte for each pixel's color (256color) but only use 4 bits of it to for start.
I am doing this as hobby. So please forgive me because I should only look at your answers during my free times.It will take some time before I could see it and mark your work as Helpful or Answer.

I am trying to convert from a text file to an image(bitmap) file.
For example, test.txt: 01 23 34 56 78 90
[Code]....
The first step will be reading the data, so I created some VB codes:
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
openFileDialog1.Title = "Select a text File"
' Show the Dialog.
' If the user clicked OK in the dialog and ' an image file was selected, open it.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
' Open file.
[Code]...
The second step will be converting the data to some data format which can be used in a bitmap image. This part is making me confused. Some codes I made is listed below:

I am attempting to create a class library that can either search a bitmap to determine whether or not it contains an exact match to a second bitmap or if it contains a partial match. Currently it only returns true if i search the image for itself or if the sensitivity is below around 15%, even when i search with an image that i know should return true. The images I am using are simply a screenshot saved in paint and a section of that first screenshot also saved in paint. Here is my current .dll coding for VB 2008 Express

I am trying to get a small bitmap from a larger image. something like
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image)
However this just gets the entire picture not just a portion of it, I would like to do something like this where I can specify the starting and stoping points
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image, StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
I would also like to take these smaller images and paste them into a single larger image. Is there any way to paste it in starting a a certain point. Such as
paste bmp into Picture1 (StartX, StartY)

Why does "OPTION STRICT ON" complain about casting an Image to Bitmap. When CTYPE is not used but not the other way around?
Dim img As Image = Image.FromFile(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyPictures & "ExampleFile.jpg")
'This is okay with OPTION STRICT ON.>>
Dim bmp As Bitmap = CType(img, Bitmap)
'OPTION STRICT ON allows this but why? >>
PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = bmp
'Why not? >>
PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = CType(bmp, Image)
