View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use icon file as a image for a button in visual basic? E.g. I have 3 buttons that need to have 3 icons when you click the button the icon of the button needs to be the icon of the form is this possible?
btnIcon1 = my.resources.ICO1
btnIcon2 = my.resources.ICO2
My application icon looks ugly-like a paper and i would like to change it to something like globe icon or any suitable image.Am programming using visual studio 2005 and the program is written in vb.net.
View 1 RepliesI'm using resources in VB.NET(2008) to manage my files and have 3 icon files that need to be on 3 buttons on my form (clicking the button changes the icon of the form tot the pressed button)
ICO_1.ico
ICO_2.ico
ICO_3.ico
but when I try the code below i get the error that "Value of type system.drawing.icon cannot be converted to system.drawing.image" any idea what's wrong?
btnIcon1.image = my.resources.ICO_1
btnIcon2.image = my.resources.ICO_2
Dim outBitmap As Bitmap
Dim tmpIcon1 As Icon = (Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(f))
outBitmap = tmpIcon1.ToBitmap
outBitmap.Save(destName, iFormat)
picturebox1.BackgroundImage = outBitmap
I've reduced my massive test code to the above for this post.
In the above iFormat is the BMP image format.
The picture box displays the correct image but the saved image shows in Windows Explorer and Paint as all black.
The coding below is to retrieve the Raw Image Data from the Database and then write as a JPG image file. The problem is the image file (image.jpg) is "nothing" after file created. I guess there is something wrong in the following coding.
fs.Write(rawData, 0, fileSize)
No any runtime errors I can find, and I double check rawData (i.e. Buffer) contains data. But don't know why there is "nothing" inside the image (image.jpg).
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim fileSize As Integer
Dim rawData() As Byte

I have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.
I need to convert any file (word, excel, pdf...) to an image (jpg/tiff..).Because I intend to preview the content of the first page of the file/document in a small frame (small window).

I want to create some video flashcards so I can study anywhere/any time. The idea is simple: I have some text that I want to convert to an image file. No, this isn't homework for a class. My experience to date has been 100% Excel/Access/Word related, so I'm completely out of my realm when it comes to images.

View 4 RepliesIs there anyway to convert an image file bytes array into an array of the real RGB values of that image?
I don't really want to use GDI+ or the System.Drawing library, but simply apply a certain calculation/processing to every byte of the image file and get another array that contains the RGB values of every pixel in that image. I know it could be done as I know how to do it in a different programming language (Python) but not in Visual Basic.

i have a problem in loading an image from a file in vb.net. I have the following code in the class of my project.

So, now I've exactly used this code to load an image from a path specified. Still, i seem to get a blank form when i run. im quite sure about the path and the existence of the file. Also, the exact piece of code is also available at: Draw an image : Draw Image2D GraphicsVB.Net Tutorial So, now do i have to insert a picture box to se the loaded image. Its like.. ive used the graphics thing to draw the image. so i reckoned that picture box was unnecessary.
Im a novice programmer just learning VB .NET 4, I have some basic knowledge of programming but no expert.
My question, I building i simple program that interacts with a small .mdb database file.I've been adding several forms to my application but now all of a sudden on the main form, I'm getting a constant busy icon "blue circle". Also this happens on one other form when the cursor is on any open space of the form, but returns to an arrow when over any button or text box.
The main form has no real code whatsoever, its basically just a toolstripmenu and the only code is several tool strip buttons like the one below Private Sub CompanysToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CompanysToolStripMenuItem.Click

I'm trying to make a solid colored icon in Visual Basic.Right now I make a Bitmap, convert it to a Graphic in order to add color, convert it back to Bitmap, and then try to convert it to an icon.Unfortunately I cannot find any way to convert the final Bitmap to an icon. Can anyone help me with this? Alternatively does anyone have a different way to generate a solid colored icon? [code]
View 3 RepliesCurrently I'm using a picturebox object in a program which is referenced to a location on my local computer ie "PictureBox.image = Image.FromFile("c:/image.jpg")". I would like the image packaged in the .exe rather than using the file's extension. So if the exe is copied to another computer it will display fine. How can I do this? I was able to do this is the drag and drog editor by importing an image rather than specifying a location, but for my purposes I'd like it done programmatically.
View 1 RepliesAfter scouring the forums for a code to extract icon from exe and convert to bitmap, i got that working, and the image will display on my form just fine. I want to save the image so it can be loaded again after the program is closed, but I get "Generic error in GDI+ occurred" when I attempt to save the bitmap.
Dim ExeIcon As Icon
Dim button1icon As Bitmap
ExeIcon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Filename)
button1icon = ExeIcon.ToBitmap()
Button1.BackgroundImage = button1icon
button1icon.Save("C:utton1icon.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
I am writing an application that will cache all my files and then let me display files that I would like to display. I am wanting to extract the icons from each file as I cache them.My question is this: How can I detect if the icon from one file is the same as another icon and therefore prevent me from extracting it twice?

View 1 RepliesI would like to convert an Bitmap image to an icon in VB.NET but I have to use the binary data of each to somehow accomplish that. Doing research on Bitmap I found how the files are structured. I know that bitmaps have the Bitmap Filer header, Bitmap infoheader, and the colorallet. Each of these contain a certain amount of bytes, and I a have to get these from the bitmap file. The icon header and info header are similar to the bitmap. I know that there are libraries in VB.NET that do that easily, butthis is for a project for school and I am not supposed to use that. I just want to ask how
View 1 RepliesI need to create an application that converts an image to an icon. This is for a school project, and I know there are libraries in VB that do image conversion, however I have to make the conversion process myself. My first task is to convert an JPEG into an icon. I made the GUI, and have the program open up the files and scale them down into my pictureBox. What I need, are some suggestions for the conversion, since I can't use what VB has. what do I need to start with ?
