Drawing On Picturebox Vs Drawing On Form?
Feb 18, 2012
I need some code to draw a resizable, draggable rectangular cursor (or selection box) on a picturebox. I found some excellent code (albeit rather old) that does just that, but on a form rather than a picturebox. I have tried converting the code - basically moving things to the picturebox events (Paint, MouseDown, MouseMove etc). It nearly works but leaves a trail behind it when you move or resize the cursor. In other words, the selection rectangle is not being erased before being drawn in the new position.
Is there some fundamental difference between drawing graphics on a form and drawing on a picturebox that would cause this behaviour? Something like, when you invalidate a form and cause a redraw it erases what you did last? If not, then I just need to dig a bit further and work out how the cursor is being erased from the previous position.
Here's the original code that works fine on a form:
Private DragRect As New RectangleF(20, 20, 100, 80)
Private Adornments(7) As RectangleF
Private MouseInRect As Boolean = False
[Code]....

I have a question about drawing a string on a picturebox in the form load event. So I have a picturebox on a form and in the form load event of this form I have this code:
Dim gx As Graphics = PictureX.CreateGraphics
Dim f As Font = New Font("Arial", 8)
Dim brr As Brush = New SolidBrush(Color.Black)
' Add the copyright text
gx.DrawString("1", f, brr, 2, 5)
But when I load the program nothing is drawn in the picturebox. Is there something wrong with the code or should I use the paint event of the picturebox?
By the way I also used this code in another program and there it works flawlessly, everything is drawn in the right place there when i load the program.

draw individual pixels, without resorting to drawing a line and setting it's length to 1. Is there an actual ability to draw a pixel that is just 1 pixel big?

I've looked and tried.. and for some reason just don't seem to be getting right now.
I have a picturebox that is 250x500, I want to draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom.
Using gs = pbMap.CreateGraphics
'Do While x.X < 250
'gs.DrawLine(Pens.Red, x, y)

This form has a picturebox and a button. The program draws a random line onto the picturebox every time the button is pressed. I want to modify the program so that it also draws a line onto the picturebox when the program is first run. I added a draw() to the form_load event but that didn't work. What do I need to do?
Public Class Form1
Dim x1 As Integer
Dim y1 As Integer

I've problem with clearing the drawing in PictureBox. The parts of a drawing are created with PictureBox1_ Paint Event like this: Name is one of the Subs (just part of a drawing). I've created a second event Timer1_Tick in which I want to clear the drawing created before but I can't reach it just with g.Clear(Color.White).

I am new to vb.net, from VB6. Trying to understand drawing a simple line graph into a picturebox, which was so simple in VB6 ! From code snippets, I can see the basic idea using an bitimage to draw the lines and then showing it in a picturebox. I don't understand how to (simulate) scaling of the bitmap's x/y scales like you could do with VB6's .Scale.

VB 6 has a ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth property which VB 2008 does not support and this is causing me fits to work around. I'm trying to draw some lines (a graph) on a Picture Box (or a Panel) using my own coordinates (not pixels). This can't be all that hard can it?

I'm basically trying to make a simple, easy-to-use, paint program. I seem to be having problems with using multiple colors in the PictureBox1_Paint option. It draws the graphics but when you change the brush color and click in the picturebox it changes the colors of the previous graphics to the color you are currently trying to use. I need it to allow multiple colors.
Here's the code that I'm currently using..
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Public Class DynosPaint
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private IsFormBeingDragged As Boolean = False

Say I have 3 Buttons, labelled: Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3. When I click on any button I want a drawing of that unit to appear on screen at a pre-specified starting point. Thereafter when I press any other one of the buttons the unit drawings appear alongside each other in a line. So I could end up with:

Problem1: I have a picturebox on a form. I have also managed to draw several PNG files with transparency onto the picturebox (see below). However, If I move the form outside the border and move it back, the image is gone. My source so far:

Dim drawMe As Graphics = PictureBox1.CreateGraphics
Dim bgcolor As Color = Color.FromArgb(128, 128, 128)

I used a picturebox to allow user draw lines by mouse. I used this code in mouse down:
Dim D As New System.Drawing.Pen(DrawingColor, 2)
Dim g As Graphics = PB.CreateGraphics()
g.DrawLine(D, X1, Y1, X2, Y2)
but when a window appear on front of picturebox... its seams that picturebox redraw itself, so drawn lines erased.

I have a VB.NET Windows Forms app with a logo image on the form as a System.Drawing.Bitmap inside a PictureBox.I used the Visual Studio Designer to add the logo .bmp image so I don't currently have any VB code doing anything with it.I'd like to make the current logo a clickable object/button so when I click on it a file browser dialog opens and I can select a new image to replace the current image.The current image is a local resource and is set in a PictureBox as a System.Drawing.Bitmap.How would I replace that System.Drawing.Bitmap with a file selected from the file browser dialog?

If I try to draw a circle by using e.g.
Code:
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 50.133, 100.321, 0.1, 0.1)
I will get an error message. I tried something like
Code:
Public ObjectPoint As PointF
Dim cpoint As New PointF()
cpoint.ObjectPoint = New PointF(startX, startY)
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Blue, cpoint.ObjectPoint, 0.4, 0.4)
but it didn't work for the location and the circle size. How to draw a circle(and rectangle) by using floating point numbers?

I have a problem. Im trying to create a form that enables a user to add dots on a mouse click event over an office floor plan. I have searched the web and this site but still am struggerling. My aim is to be able to draw dots (purpose is to highlight problems) and polygons over the plan (purpose to define which service area the floor area relates). I want to save all graphics to an access database with associated
fields.
My thinking is to place a second picture box over the first and make this transparent and use this as the user interface? I dont expect anyone to solve this for me, however, any help with how to draw dots and polygons through mouse down or mouse click would be most helpful.
