View 1 RepliesIm in a win.form app. in .Net 2008 I have a lot of Icons that I want to display on a (TouchScreen enviroment) button The icons are in 8,16; 32 bit in the sizes 16X16 ; 32X32 ; 48X48
The buttons are large enough, they have a dimension of 252X132.The images are loaded via the Button propertie : Image. This has allso a size propertie, but is disabled. And I can see its loading the 32X32 32bpp format But I want the 48X48 size on there. Does some 1 knows how to get those sizes op the button.
I know its possible via a imagelist but why have a resource if you cant use it??

View 3 RepliesI need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
I currently have the following code but I would like to get away from going to a physical location. If I have the icon as a resource, how can I programatically add the icon? I don't want to use the form's designer to do this.
Sub Form1_Load()
Dim ico As New System.Drawing.Icon("C:Resourcesicon.ico")
Me.Icon = ico
End Sub
I want to add a .ico to a notifyicon, but i get this message:Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as a Icon?What is the problem? It is a .ico file..

View 1 Repliesi posted about how to transfer file and i found a thread explains it with sample. Now how am i able to display it in a form the file transfer, the icon the name and size. And the user can click it .
View 4 RepliesHere's the code that I use to extract the icon size that I want:
Dim i As Icon = My.Resources.Spectrum
Using i2 As New Icon(i, New Size(256, 256))
Me.PictureBox1.Image = i2.ToBitmap
End Using
This works from 16x16 up to 128x128 but for 256x256 it extracts the 128x128 icon. I tried 0x0, because I seem to remember that that is how the large size is stored in the meta data, but that didn't work either.
I have a treeview, it lists all folders and subfolders and files within each folder. Now, I want to display each file / folders associated icon. I am using the SHGetFileInfo API, it works sort of, what I mean by sort of is, that my treeview doesn't update after each folder / file. Sometimes it keeps giving me the Recycle Bin's icon at different folders.

I added an icon to my resource file I can see it has multiple pictures in it To assign a picture to a button I use this code(vb):

I have a good batch of PNGs in my resources (with alpha transparencies) that I use on various controls in my program. However, I would like to be able to use some of those same images as form icons.
How can I convert the PNGs into a usable format so they can be assigned to the forms icon on the fly?

How can I associate an icon path with a picturebox by pasting the path into a textbox and then pressing a button? I've been trying different things with the system.drawing.bitmap and system.drawing.icon but they don't seem to work OR I'm using them the wrong way.
The icon I'm trying to extract and put into the picturebox: C:WindowsSystem32shell32.dll,3 (the 3rd icon in shell32.dll)
how can you set the application icon? this may involve converting a jpeg to the correct format

View 2 RepliesI have a few problems i need to solve. Firstly, I am looking for a piece of code i can use to display a picture from a bank of pictures. It will work on the basis of generating a random number and loading a picture that corresponds to that number.
i.e. Dim RandNumber As Integer
Dim RandClass As New Random
RandNumber = RandClass.next(1, 10)
If RandNumber = 1 Then
Picturebox1.image = picture1

Secondly, can I then use subsequent picture boxes to display pictures from the same bank of images, without displaying the same image? Finally, I then need to be able to click the picture or a button beneath the picture to select it as an answer to a question and then the whole process starts again.
