Drawing On Picturebox Vs Drawing On Form?
Feb 18, 2012I 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

Drawing On A Borderless Form
Dec 5, 20111)Interestingly, if I try to draw on a Form with formborderstyle = none, no drawing appears.On a form, with borders; no problem
2)If I draw from wihin a paint event, i can draw on both.However, the paint event has its own issues, most irritatingly the fact that it doesn't draw immedately, but only after going all the way back through a whole chain of calls.anyway that I can draw directly on a borderless form?

View 2 RepliesDraw Over A Form, Detect Drawing In Specific Areas?
Mar 27, 2010[URL] In my Windows Form, I wanted the user to give an option to draw all over the form. But, if the user while drawing, enters the region 1, I want to assign a value to variable, say a=1. Correspondingly, if the user without leaving the mouse button previously enter the region 4, I want to b=1.After the user leaves the mouse button, I wanted to compare a and b. If both of them are equal, then Result=Done else not.
View 3 RepliesDrawing A String On A Picturebox In The Form Load Event?
Jun 13, 2010I 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.
Game Programming :: Faster Image Drawing On Form?
Aug 12, 2011I'm writing a game in VB 2005 Express and at the moment it involves using the drawimage method to first draw a background and then various sprites onto my form every time a timer ticks. It's all double buffered so there's no flicker or anything but it just goes very slowly, how to speed it up. I've come across the term blitting (bitblt), which seems like it would be useful, but haven't been able to work out exactly what it is, whether it can be used in this version of vb, how to use it etc.
Here's my code (or at least an approximation of the relevant bits seeing as the whole thing is rather long):
Public Class Form1
Dim BackgroundImg as Image 'plus all of my sprite images declared
Dim Mybuffer As BufferedGraphics
Dim MyContext As BufferedGraphicsContext
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

View 2 RepliesWinforms - Load System.Drawing V4.0.0.0 On A Windows Form In Visual Studio 2010?
Mar 4, 2012I've decided to learn Visual Basic .Net as this is what some of my colleagues work with, and this will allow me to work with them on projects.I have purchased Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step and downloaded the sample files. When I am trying to debug the first sample application (a Windows form), it is telling me that it can't load System.Drawing V4.0.0.0. However, if I create a new Windows Form application (C# or VB.Net) this works fine.
I had a look at the References tab in the project settings and System.Windows.Forms is referenced, but the version referenced is 2.0.0.0. I have removed and re-added this reference and it stays at 2.0.0.0 and I still get the error.Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be going on?

Form "drawing" Is Visible?
Oct 12, 2008I have a form which changes every few seconds (about 10 or 15 seconds) to a different "screen" When it changes, it hides and shows different labels, changes background, and hides and shows different picture boxes.
Anyway, when it changes, there are visible black boxes and it "flashes" somewhat as well during the change. I was wondering if there was any way to reduce or completely eliminate these symptoms.

C# - Multithreaded Drawing In .NET?
Jul 24, 2010(Edit: to clarify, my main goal is concurrency, but not necessarily for multi-core machines)
I'm fairly new to all concepts on concurrency, but I figured out I needed to have parallel drawing routines, for a number of reasons:
I wanted to draw different portions of a graphic separatedly (background refreshed less often than foreground, kept on a buffer). I wanted control about priority (More priority to UI responsiveness than drawing a complex graph). I wanted to have per-frame drawing calculations multithreaded. I wanted to offer cancelling for complex on-buffer drawing routines.
However, being such a beginner, my code soon looked like a mess and refactoring or bug-fixing became so awkward that I decided I need to play more with it before doing anything serious.
So, I'd like to know how to make clean, easy to mantain .NET multithreaded code that makes sense when I look at it after waking up the next day. The bigest issue I had was structuring the application so all parts talk to each other in a smart (as opposed to awkward and hacky) way.
I have a preference for sources that I can digest in my free time (e.g., not a 500+ pages treatise on concurrency) and for C#/VB.NET, up to the latest version (since I see there have been advances). Basically I want something straight to the point so I can get started by playing with the concepts on my toy projects.
