Filling Background Area Of PictureBox With Grid Colors?
Nov 20, 2011
I want to replicate what I have with a Mac application. I want to fill the background area of a
PictureBox with grids as shown in the following screenshot (right below the blue arrow).What I have is a simple translation of the code that I use with this Mac application to create the background area, which doesn't quite work.Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim g As Graphics = PictureBox1.CreateGraphics()
Dim i, j As Integer
For j = 0 To Math.Ceiling(PictureBox1.Height / 20)
[Code]...

I'm attempting to do something that I know should be simple but I keep messing it up somehow. First, I'm attempting to change the font color using the color in the font dialog box, but the color will only work with the next character entered into the rich text box. Second, I'm trying to use a button to switch the font and background colors.

I am using several instances of a panel object I am creating.I would like to be able to draw a diagonal line from the upper right to the lower left corner of some of the instances.I have been able to create the panel with a background image that has a white line on a transparent background, and I can switch it on and off, but I would like the line to have the active text color.How can I make an image object that uses the system palette?

I need to plot some analog values read from the serial port.I plot them in a picturebox starting from left. When I reach the end of the control at the right side I shift all values to the left of a point and I plot the new point at the right, (I have some flickering but it could be acceptable). This is my plotting control.My problem is that I have to clear the control (picturebox) in order to plot the shifted graph, but the method Clear of the Graphics class clears everything inside the picturebox, even my grid.How can i make always visible a grid "in" my picturebox?
1.a transparent image with a grid over the PB? (the clear method cannot remove it)
2.an image with a grid below the picturebox that must be with a transparent background to make visible the grid?
3.multiple layers on the same picturebox?

I am trying to use a background image for one of my programs and I get this error when I try to make the BackColor Transparent. It allows me to use the Background image I want but I get this error when I try to change the BackColor to Transparent. A Box pops up that says "Property value is not valid.", then when I click Details, it says "Control does not support transparent background colors."

In my datagrid view I set the header columns to speccific colors after the grid is filled:
frmMain.DataGridView1.Columns(gridCols.availableCGWP).HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = My.Settings.colorCgwp
frmMain.DataGridView1.Columns(gridCols.availableLacRec).HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = My.Settings.colorFiles
frmMain.DataGridView1.Columns(gridCols.availableCM).HeaderCell.Style.BackColor = My.Settings.colorCM[code]...
This has worked fine, until I set the "Enable XP visual styles" on the project properties page. With this set, the colors dissapear from the header (although they still show up correctly in the grid). If I turn the flag off, the header colors are back to normal.

My app has scrolling images in the background and a picturebox on top. The image in the picturebox has transparent parts. How can It so that the transparent parts show whatever is belo the picture box, not the form background? I have tried taking screenshots and positioning them as background but this just freezes the app.
Dim ScreenSize As Size = New Size(154, 83)
Dim screenGrab As New Bitmap(154, 83)

How can I create alternating background colors for listview rows while only using ItemTemplate? I don't want to use AlternateTemplate because I would have to edit both of them everytime I want to change something when all I'm using it for is to create the alternating background colors. So what's a way I could do it using only the ItemTemplate?

In my project, it is desirable to access built-in color, dash styles, hatch styles by a numerical index rather than their names. For example, I would like to access the colors in a loop from 0 to 140 and display each of these in side by side rectangles in a picture box. Then later, when I click on the rectangle for a desired color, calculate the index of the color from the position of the rectangle in the picture box and use this index to set another object to the clicked color. I understand the coding for all of this except for how to get the colors from the enumeration in the loop and later, after I get the index from the clicked picture box, how to I access the desired color from the enumeration by using the index obtained from clicking the picture box.

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

I would like to do that. Find the board on-screen that convert it to Color Grid on a picture. I have tested few things but they did not work. It randomly draws white and greyish squares instead I would like it to create what it reads off the screen.
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim img As New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(img)
gr.Clear(Color.White)

I'm trying to accomplish is having a 20x20 pixel image show up multiple times as determined by the grid selected. To keep things simple, what I'm trying to do is create a 9x9 grid of a image onto a form. I'm assuming that a picture box is the way to go, but don't know how to make that happen or if it's even possible.
So it would go something like this:
2D array already assigned:
Sub ShowGrid()
For rw As Short = 0 To 8
[Code].....
But instead of using a text box with values, I want to show a grid of a small image file, like cup.png which is 20x20 pixels or whatever, so what would show up on the form in this case would be a 9x9 grid of the image file over and over to create a grid.
Then the next step I hope to accomplish is to have that 20x20 square picture hold the grid(x,y) value for a mouse click. So if the image at grid(3,5) is clicked, it will give me that value, 3-5.

I have a picturebox with a pic in it, and I have a label on top of the picture.
I want the background of the the label to be transparent, so I set it's background prop to transparent and it's parent to the picturebox. I do this on form load, but for some reason the label entirely disappears once the form loads?

I have a picturebox and I have a image with a blue and red square. When I click a button it puts that image into the picturebox as background image. The background image property is set to tile. But when I click on my form to draw the image to it, it just draws the original not the one that has the tile effect from the picturebox. Is there a way i can do this to keep the tile effect?
