Determine Whether Graphics Object Is For A Printer?
May 11, 2009
We would like to know whether there is any way to interrogate a Graphics object and determine whether it is to be used to print or to render to some other canvas. We're aware of an API call that can be used but would prefer to avoid that route if possible. There's also the possibility of simply passing a flag in with the Graphics object that is True from a PrintPage event handler and False from elsewhere, but that's not ideal either. We're looking for a managed property or method accessible via the Graphics class itself, but nothing's jumping out.

below is my code for copying an image from a form to send it to the printer.it works but it tends to be a little blurry. is there anyway to make it sharper?
Bmp = New Bitmap(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height)
Bmp = New Bitmap(800, 500)
Dim G As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(Bmp)
G.CopyFromScreen(Me.PointToScreen(Me.ClientRectangle.Location), New Point(0, 0), Me.ClientSize)

I'm deserializing an object and in certain cases it works fine, however in others it fails. The exception is essentially meaningless to me, but there has to be a way to figure out where exactly it failed so i redirect my debugging.

I am making a lunar lander game that randomizes the terrain for each new game, so each game is different. For my game, I am creating a graphics object that draws a closed curve for the terrain of the game. I am trying to then detect if a picture object collides with the graphics object.[code]...

I have a form that uses the printer object and the print preview. A user clicks on a Print button, the preview comes up. This works fine the first time they do so, but if they click on this button more times, the output is overlaid ontop of the first report. The printer object is destroyed at the end of the print creation, and I have tried various other means to make sure that the page gets cleared without success.[code]

I'm looking for a similar "IsStructure" function. Is there some other way to determine if T is a structure but not an intrinsic type?
Public Shared Function MySub(Of TData)(ByVal t As TData) As TData
Dim IsClass As Boolean
IsClass = GetType(TData).IsClass
End Function
Note that using IsPrimitive and IsValueType on Nullable(Of Integer) and a Structure returns the same results, False and True, respectively.

Public Class A
Private aa As Integer
Dim bb As Integer
Public cc As Integer
[code]....
what is the size of the object oA?and what if Class A and B contain methods?(I meant the size of object)what if inherited class B contains overridden methods?(size of object)what if inherited class B contains variables with same name as in Class A?(size of object)I need theoretical answer. Does those access specifiers Private,Dim,Public make any difference in allocating memory because of their different scopes?On what basis memory is allotted for a method? etc.

The following works fine in c# (assuming value is an object):
if (value is DateTime)
What is the equivalent check for VB.NET?

I am still developing this function, but here is what I am intending it to do. This function will accept an Object, then try to determine its type. There are a specific set of types I am looking for: Integer, Boolean, Date, String. What I have so far is pretty privative, but it seems to be working so far:
Private Function DataType(ByVal entry As Object) As ValueType
Try
If IsNumeric(entry) Then

I can't figure out how to determine the type of an object in a collection. I want to do a For Each ... Next loop over the items in the DropDownItems collection of a ToolStripMenuItem. For those items that are ToolStripMenuItems themselves I want to take some kind of action. (The collection can contain other types of items, such as ToolStripSeparators). So I need to say something like: If Typeof(item) = ToolStripMenuItem Then .

Heres my sub:

Private Sub skill_mouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.MouseHover, button2.MouseHover, panel1.MouseHover, panel2.MouseHover, pbox1.MouseHover

Now I wish to give onThisTable a different value depending what the user pass over (panel or a pbox or a button) but I cant find what is the correct way to compare what type it is ...
Private Sub skill_mouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.MouseHover, button2.MouseHover, panel1.MouseHover, panel2.MouseHover, pbox1.MouseHover

I am using VB .Net for this, so I don't have access to var or this would be a simple matter.Right now my query is as follows
[code]...
So I used this query in LinqPad to help me determine what the object would look like. I got back a IOrderQueryable(Of RSError) which then contained a IGrouping(Of String, RSError) for each grouped collection of objects returned by the query.However I ended up with the current object type of errors as IOrderedQueryable(Of IGrouping(Of String, RSError)) because of the cast error I am getting in VS.
[code]...
I'm not sure how to get rid of the VB$AnonymousType_1 Part of the returned object.Am I even on the right track here or am I missing something completely?

I am trying to copy the contents of one graphics object to another, but the only was I have been able to find is based on using GDI32.DLL, which i would rather avoid using if possible.Does anyone know how/if this is possible using managed code? I don't mind if answers are in C# or VB.Net.

When I do my form_paint event, I have quite a lot to redraw, so I'm breaking into into severals subs to make it easier to read. I'm passing the 'e' variable into my subs as shown below, is this correct?
Private Sub frmMain_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint
DrawMap(e)
End Sub
Private Sub DrawMap(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
End Sub
Am I right in copying that whole 'e as system.windows....' etc line from the form_paint details into my subs details?Just to clarify, the sub will draw directly onto the form.

I have been trying to draw spirals in vb.net. Here's a link to the formula [URL]. here's what I was trying to do. The code below is just drawing points which I was later going to edit to connect from point to point as soon as i got the spiral function working.
Function Draw()
Dim iImageCenterPointH As Integer = pbOut.Height / 2
Dim iImageCenterPointW As Integer = pbOut.Width / 2
Dim iCircleSpace As Integer = 10
[Code] .....
I am not 100% the output is matching the formula here's what I am getting atm ...

I need serious advice here please. I use Visual Basic Graphics Programming by Rod Stephens as a reference, and I have visited his site vb-helper.com to try some of his tutorials. I tried the scribble application and it's working out fine (you can download the snippet from his site).
What I have trouble with is zooming in. I am not sure where to start. I would like to zoom in to x2, x3 and etc. of the bitmap I am working on and I would like to be able to continue to edit the bitmap. This would mean that I have a larger pixel brush under the mouse cursor, to lay down pixels. So a x2 zoom would mean a 2 x 2 pixel.
Has someone done this. Do you have a reference I can use for this. This kind of editing is standard in almost every paint package. Even Microsoft Paint, but there is not too much basic information on how it fits together in code for vb .net. So I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction. As I said, I am using the scribble application as a base, so here is the link. [URL]..

I need to make a basic drawing program in VB that can do three things:
"Draw" with a brush of some sort
Clear the screen
Perform a flood-fill (paintbucket action)
I decided to do the first two tasks first, and got them to work, but the third task completely eludes me. Every way I try seems to pile on exceptions, and every flood-fill algorithm I find seems to require a bitmap, rather than a Graphics() object. Is there any way to accomplish a flood-fill using a Graphics object, or must I restart the project using a bitmap?
Source code for reference:

I currently have a graphics object g where I am drawing lines and ellipses on with the command
g.DrawEllipse(definedPen, Fc, Fr, Tc, Tr)
g.DrawLine(definedPen, Fc, Fr, Tc, Tr)
This works fine. However what I can�t find out how to do is place text onto the graphics object at a specified row & column.

Pretty self-explanatory question. I'm trying to see if I can do sprite animation in Visual Basic and, while I can use a Graphics object to translate a bitmap down a few pixels, I have absolutely no idea how to erase the bitmap drawn in its former position. Is there any way to erase the old image before the new image is drawn onto the form?

This little experiment was a test prompted by a previous thread to learn to work in a graphics object, then paint everything later to a picturebox (later, will be looking at building own custom control for the display), and save out the bitmap to a file on the HD.But weird things happen here. Nothing will display in the picturebox, and the saved bitmap is just a black box.The only partial success I had was replacing: e.Graphics.DrawImage(MyBitmap, 0, 0)
with,
PictureBox1.image = MyBitmap
inside the paint event handler, but that caused infinite recursion of the paint event. But at least I could see parts of the graphic for a fraction of a second before it was wiped clean, every time I clicked the "Go_cmd" button. But what is weird is that this partial success showed that the graphics object was copying successfully over to the bitmap image (because I could briefly see parts of it in the picturebox, but the saved file would still come out black, even though it was based on the same bitmap!The code is as follows.Above the form1 class
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
The single declaration:
Public MyBitmap As Bitmap
The form_load procedure:[ code].....
The code in the version shown above would not even show a brief moment of the graphics in the picturebox, and the saved .bmp file is just a filled black box.
