Display Them As Large As The Screen Will Allow?
Mar 10, 2012I propose to start a project which will take image files from a folder selected by the user, and display them as large as the screen will allow. I shall start with images that will be in the form 'filename.jgp'.I reckon I'll be able to do most of the coding without too much trouble but before I begin I'd like to know that there is a way of discovering the x and y pixel sizes of a .jpg file so that I when expand, or reduce it I will be able to keep the image in the correct aspect ratio.I'd also like to know if there is a way to rotate an image through 90 either clockwise or anticlockwise, (counterclockwise) for those cases where an image is stored sideways due to the difference between taking photographs either in landscape or portrait mode, or even through 180 I guess for if the camera was totally inverted.
View 4 RepliesConverting Signature Display On Screen To BMP Or JPG
May 26, 2009I am working on a project where I have a signature displayed on the screen that is drawn via code based on data that has been transmitted from another device. This is from one of the samples from MS. The signature displays on screen just fine but I need to convert this to a bmp or jpg so I can save it to disk and/or print it on a report.
Code:
PrivateSub DrawSignature(ByVal g As Graphics)
' background
g.Clear(Color.Cornsilk)
' border
g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Gray, 0, 0, pictSignature.Width - 1, pictSignature.Height - 1)
' return if don't have a signature
[Code] .....
I have tried creating a new bitmap from the image property of pictSignature but it is empty even though it has an image displayed on screen. This is the first time I have tried to work with this type of coding and am totally at a loss as to what I need to do to get a bitmap from the data.

View 6 RepliesForm Display With Splash Screen
Dec 7, 2009I'm writing a small app which I want to display a splash screen. The problem is my form 1 is appearing before the splash screen disappears. In fact is appears on startup blocking the splash screen. I have some code in form_load and have managed to figure out which line is causing the error, but I cant figure out why or how to prevent it.
The line reads
LoadSettings()
If I comment out this line everything runs fine and there's nothing in that sub that should affect form1. I'm doing this in vb express 2010.
Here's the code for my form_load:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
LoadSettings() ' this line is causing the problem
My.Application.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = intSSDelay * 1000
'resolution check

Adjusting Form Size According To Screen Display
Nov 25, 2010I've a form set to size 1240:750. On my PC where I've VB2010 installed, the screen size is set to 1680:1024 and the form can be viewed fine but on a PC with screen size set to 1280:1024 (higher than the form) the form in question is cropped almost a third of it. To adjust the form to everyone screen size I set the below code at load with no avail.
'Autosize form to screen
Me.Height = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height) * (0.9)
Me.Width = (SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Width) '* (0.9)
Me.MaximumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(Me.Width, Me.Height)
Me.MinimumSize = New System.Drawing.Size(1240, 750)

Screen Blanks After 1 Min Of Processing (of Excel File) / Refresh Or Freeze Screen To Avoid Blank Screen?
Jun 29, 2011BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

At the end of the day I want all of the combobox choices to save to a file..I dont really need the table or the grid thing to save..just the choices. If I want to do this, do I need to use that gridview tool? or can I make my own table thing to display the choices in.

View 3 RepliesVB 3D Game - Display A 3D Model On The Screen, Like A .x File Extension, Or .fbx, Or .obj
Aug 1, 2010I've ran out of options, and there simple was no other place to come. I have wanted to make a 3D game for so long, so bad, I can't even describe it. Now I started in C# making 3D games in the XNA Game Studios 3.1 Engine, but I eventually fell through the cracks. Let's cut to the point, shall we? I was wondering if there was a simple way in Visual Basic 2008, that I could maybe display a 3D model on the screen, like a .x file extension, or .fbx, or .obj or anything...? I can easily create 3D models, and I'm good at it, but is there a simple way, or a component/refrence/game engine that you could use with Visual Basic 2008. I know there's alot more to making games then just display models, Why I choose Visual Basic 2008, you ask? Well, it's my best language and I can easily write small games with x, y, z and float positions.
View 4 RepliesVS 2008 : Display Six Or Seven Lines Of Data For Each Device On The Same Screen?
Mar 2, 2010I have 20-30 devices that I am connecting to and gathering data from. I want to display six or seven lines of data for each device on the same screen, then allow the user to click the object containing the device and show more detail on a separate form. There aren't any other programmers where I work and am looking for advice on how most efficiently to implement this. I have tried TableLayoutPanels, Datagrids, Textboxes, ListBoxes and I am probably not implementing them right, but they don't seem to be getting me where I want to go. I am also trying to stay away from hardcoding objects onto the screen.
View 3 RepliesVS 2010 - Extracting Text - Convert The English Text Shown In Screen To Malayalam
Sep 6, 2010I'm trying to create a small program, which I think will be helpful to others(in here). My aim is to convert the English text shown in screen to Malayalam. English-to-Malayalam conversion is not a problem. But the problem is, how to extract the text from the screen. In most of the converter/translator, the text needs to be copied or written down in the translator tool. But my program will cut off that part. That is, simply move the program window (having a rectangle hollow portion) to the English word that needs to be converted. And upon pressing a button (or autodetect), the English word is converted to Malayalam.
So, my question is how to extract the English text(or words) from the screen (which is seen through the hollow portion of the window.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to do.

View 2 RepliesControl Display Of Several On-screen Elements Depending On A Single Value Input By A User
Aug 3, 2009I am new to VB and seeking to create a visual basic program which controls the display of several on-screen elements depending on a single value input by a user. The user can enter anyone of 2500 values and depending on the value entered, five different display elements on the screen will change color or text. The program's response to a given input value never changes, in other words if the user enters 279, the five different display items will always be the same. However, there is no real pattern to the display items that would allow for programming an anticipated response to the input value.
My thinking is to create a large and ponderous "lookup table" in visual basic - I am assuming this an be done but perhaps there is a different or better method. I plan on creating the lookup file in Excel but was assuming I'd need to export it to something that VB could easily read. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Does the lookup table reside as a separate .txt files someplace or something like that? [Code]
