DrawImage And DrawString Missing
Jul 8, 2009At the top of my code I have:
imports system.drawing.graphics
but when I try to use it, no DrawImage or DrawString methods are available. I can get DrawImageAbort rather ironically.[code]...

.net - Making A DrawImage A Button?
Nov 14, 2011I have these three images that I have drawn to my form.
GraphicsBuffer.DrawImage(ButtonEasy, New Rectangle(25, 330, 100, 50), 0, 0, 100, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ImageAttributes)
GraphicsBuffer.DrawImage(ButtonMedium, New Rectangle(150, 330, 100, 50), 0, 0, 100, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ImageAttributes)
GraphicsBuffer.DrawImage(ButtonHard, New Rectangle(275, 330, 100, 50), 0, 0, 100, 50, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ImageAttributes)
But I want to make a Boolean expression for when they are clicked so I can trigger the events to load the game mode selected.
Do I do this through resource code or is there a simply way to do this. My idea seems like it would be bad and not syntaxically correct.
Edit: I've gotten to this:
Private Sub ButtonEasy_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) _

Overwrite DrawImage In Picturebox (.NET)?
May 15, 2011I've a program that draw an image in a picturebox with DrawImage. This image, a ball (.png transparent), every second is overwritten by another ball of different color. After 3-5 second the edge of the ball becomes bad, because of overwriting.
I tried to clean the background with a FillRectangle before any overwrite, but i need to preserve the windows form background. How can i do that?
2D RPG Game In VB Out Of Memory After Graphics.DrawImage
Jun 1, 2010Well currently im programming a game in Visual Basic and I have it to the point where it draws a map on the form, it loads maps to different areas when you walk on the map, and I am doing so by using Graphics. DrawImage which redraws the map on the screen with the character in the new position. It was working quickly and smoothly until now.
I added some more sprites and now it starts to lag badly then it will throw a Out of Memory exception and it will display a big red x across the form. I watched the memory now as i move the character one spot on the forum and the memory increases 100mb's each time. It wasn't doing this before which is weird. I managed to fix the out of memory error using GC.GarbageCollect but I read that this is bad, also the character still lags across the forum. I really didn't want to release the source code until I was finished but seeing as I need help quickly because this is for a project I am working on for Thursday (End of semester Programming 2 Junior year of high school) I don't have many options.
C# - How To Increase Performance Over GDI DrawImage (Unscaled)
Apr 6, 2010In my user control's paint handler I iterate over a collection of predefined Bitmap objects and draw them to the client area thusly:
C# version:
private void Control_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
foreach (BitmapObj bmpObj in _bitmapObjCollection) {
g.DrawImageUnscaled(bmpObj.Bitmap, bmpObj.Location);
[Code] .....
The code works fine but starts to bog down when a dozen or so objects are added to the collection. My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? Would it be possible to use the Win32 bitblt function to replace DrawImageUnscaled? And if so how?

Jul 18, 2010Basically, what I am trying to do is scale part of an image. In VB6 the Scaling version of the BITBLT api worked fine, however in .NET's Drawimage version of it works okay, until a different destination size is specified.url...The red is from the next tile on the source image. and the bottom is missing one row of pixels.I have also screened this, and counted that the left side isn't properly doubled and the very first column of pixels is in 1x1 squares instead of 2x2 like the rest of the image.I don't get why it's obtaining outside the range I set, so here is my code incase it helps, note that you'll need to define a blocks array:[code]

View 5 RepliesDrawImage And Defining Color To Copy Instead Of Mask?
Feb 7, 2012I am using VB 2008 & drawimage function to copy image A to Image B. My problem is image A has many different colored patches on it and I only want to copy the ones that have a certain RGB value. I was going to set the masking color to the RGB value but remembered that defines the color to ignore - Im interested in the opposite.
I know I could loop through all the pixels and check its color, but its way slow and Im hoping theres something better?
DrawImage Issues In A Dynamically Added Picturebox?
Feb 5, 2009This is my first post to these forums so forgive me for any etiquette I may be disregarding.I am creating a custom control that has a TabControl on it. The user will then double click or right click the TabControl to display a ContextMenuStrip asking if they would like to add a new image (or tab) to the project. After they select the image file, I create a new tab, add that to the TabControl, and then I want to create a PictureBox that I draw on in a particular way depending on space available and several other factors.
Where I am having the issue is in drawing the image to the PictureBox, it is only displaying the BackColor and none of the DrawImage work. It is important to note that because of what I am doing it will not suffice to set the PicBox.Image = ImageFile or PicBox.BackgroundImage = ImageFile. I need to select tiles from the image file and then draw them into the PictureBox in a particular way, which changes if the control resizes. Also, I am using a PictureBox because the final image within it can potentially be larger than the containing tab page, and therefore I want the TabPage to generate an AutoScroll bar. If there is another way to do this, please let me know.
Below is a very simple example of what I have currently. What I suspect to be happening is that the PictureBox's Paint event is firing after I do my DrawImage work and basically overriding what I did, but I hope I am wrong.OpenAddTilesetForm() simply displays a form for the user to select which image to use, and the properties pertaining to it.

Graphics.DrawImage Call Runs Slow?
Jun 5, 2010I'm trying to improve the speed of my call to:Graphics.DrawImage (Image, Rectangle, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, GraphicsUnit, ImageAttributes)I want to display two images, where the old one fades smoothly into the new one, driven by a Timer tick of 10 or 20 ticks a second. The following code runs fine on JPEG files of around half a megabyte or less, but takes much too long (up to half a second) fora 2MB JPEG. Using the Stopwatch control, I isolated the problem to the two .DrawImage calls. Do I need to do this in DirectX or is there a way to improve the efficiency of the routine? I thought of trying to resize the two images beforehand to fit the rectangle, but that's not a simple call (I don't think), and it might just mean moving the delay elsewhere.

Avoiding Flicker When Drawing Multiple Bitmaps With Graphics.DrawImage
Mar 15, 2011I need to draw a bitmap background with one or more moving bitmaps in the foreground; something like a chessboard where pieces move across it. I use a timer-tick event to redraw the background and then draw the relocated foreground image like the code below. But I get flicker, even though I set the form to use double-buffering. The culprit seems to be redrawing the background to refresh where the foreground images used to be; no flicker if I replace the background DrawImage with a simple Graphics.Clear. I think what I want to do is draw the background, and the foreground bitmap(s), in memory and then render it all. I used to do this with double-buffering, BitBlt, and .Refresh in VB6 but I haven't found the equivalent in VB2010. This must be a pretty common graphics requirement; what's the trick to it?
