I'm real new to VB and thought I'd try something "simple". I have a form with a button, two pictureboxes and textboxes. When the button is clicked, I am generating two random numbers (1-6) and then want to select a corresponding picure of a dice from the Resource folder (named Dice1-6.jpg) for each of the pictureboxes. The textboxes display the numeric version of the "dice" rolls.[code]...
View 5 RepliesI'm sure there are similar threads, but I've search and tried most things and still can't find something that works.
I am testing a small project, in the attempt to find the solution for a much bigger application. So, here's the deal. I'm using VB 2005 and MSSQL 2005 (both are Express editions). I've stored the names to some images in the database.
When I use PictureBox1.image = My.Resources.<filename>
and build the application, it works and properly displays the image. Now, what I'm really trying to do is extract an image names from the database and assign it to a variable, this is what I have.
Dim EqTest As New Test1DataSet.EqTestDataTable
Dim EqTestAdapter As New Test1DataSetTableAdapters.EqTestTableAdapter
EqTestAdapter.Fill(EqTest)
[Code]....
I've used the messagebox for testing so that I can see what the value of "Trythis" is, and the string is "My.Resources.<filename>", which is the correct string, but I can't use that string in the picturebox to display the image, because I get an error "Value of Type String can not be converted to System.Drawing.Image".
I have a picture box on my form. I can load images which I read from a database into the box.
The problem is that the images are all sorts of different shapes and sizes. Some are square. Some are portrait. Some are landscape.
How do I configure the imagebox so that the pictures are reduced to fit, and keep their proportions. As I've got it at the moment, the rectangular ones are distorted into a square, which makes some of them look pretty strange.
On my form i have a picture box that i want to put a random image in. im my code i have a random number generator. the number generated will correspond to a picture in my.resources. i.e if it generates 1 there will be a file called 1.jpg. what i need to know is how to tell the picturebox to display the image that corresponds to the generated number? i tried:
dim pic as string = random
picAnimal.BackgroundImage = My.Resorces.("& Pic &")
this does not work, it says identifier expected (between the . and the vairable), can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm using VB 2008 express to create a windows form application. I have a combobox named cb_face.

View 8 RepliesI have 52 listview items in my listview1 and I have a picturebox basically I want it where I can click on a single item in the listview and display an image from a url in the picturebox. I basically have it right now that when you click on any item in the listview it just shows the same image in the picturebox no matter which item it is.

View 12 RepliesI am writing a VB 2008 Express Edition application which has multiple forms. All of the forms contain one or more PictureBox controls. All PictureBox controls have assigned bitmaps via Image property during development mode. So far, all the bitmaps displayed during runtime without a slightest problem. Now, suddenly, not a single new one (i.e. which I add from this moment on) would display bitmap during runtime. All the old ones (i.e. those which I have added up to that unspecified point in time when something went wrong) still display bitmaps fine as they did before. But any newly added PictureBox (or, come to that, any other control which can display bitmap.
I have tried also Label control) displays the bitmap loaded via Image property only during development mode. During runtime the PictureBox shows as empty. I tried to load the bitmap during runtime via command Image.FromFile and that works fine (but I don't want to use this approach in my program). If I create a completely new application, all PictureBox controls display the bitmaps just fine. I don't get any errors or warnings in VB editor. I reinstalled the whole VB 2008 Express Edition including SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1 with no difference whatsoever (as would be expected as any new application works with PictureBox controls fine).
I'm creating a program in visual basic 2008 that can scan an image straight to a picturebox using a scanner.

View 2 RepliesWhat I have done is named a bunch of picture boxes "Q," "W," "E," etc. (the whole alphabet) and named picture that correspond to these picture boxes ("Q.png," "W.png," and so on) and added them to my resources.
For example, the following code would give the picture box named "Q" it's corresponding image "Q.png":
vb
Q.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.Q
Of course, it's kind of a pain in the backside to copy and paste this code and change all the Q's to W's and so on, so I was hoping to create a function to do the job for me:
