I got a PictureBox Control with a BackgroundImage. Related to the active Image I will show the next image by manipulating the name-string. But how to get the name of the actual shown image? All my images stored under ressources.Following wont work:PB.BackgroundImage.ToString it will give: "System.Drawing.Bitmap"

I'm from Holland (The Netherlands) and new to this forum, I'm not 100% sure if I'm posting this thread in the correct subforum... I don't I have a little experience in Visual Basic .NET 2008 Currently I'm developing a program for my job in which you can follow a checklist for doing a certain procedure. With every step you have to click a checkbox and so on. It's saved in an XLS-file and blahblah, all irrelevant for my question.
I've got to the point that I'm almost pulling my hair here, because everything went fine so far with coding my program, but this simple thing I can't solve What I'm trying to do is, change the BackgroundImage of a Button when you click on it. If it is Image1 at the time of clicking it should change to Image2, and vice versa.

is there a way to put image in lower right corner of form by using BackgroundImage?
View 1 RepliesCan i set an image as a backgroundimage for a treeview control?
View 1 RepliesI am writing a simulator for a complex technical system. I have created a custom control which inherits from the Button control. My project requires around 100 of these buttons, which function identically except for one difference. The background image cycles between 4 different images, (depending upon whether the button is pressed and/or the state of a Fault parameter), and this group of 4 images is different for many of the buttons. So when I drag a new control onto the form, I'd like to be able to specify which group of 4 images to use for this button.
Currently I'm using this syntax:
if not IsFault and isOn then
MyBase.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.FaultOnButton01
...
But this means I have to change each image in the code for each individual button. To simplify matters I though of using the Tag attribute. That way the class code can select the images by a process like this:
if not IsFault and isOn then
Mybase.BackgroundImage=My.Resources. + mybase.Tag + "01"
Obviously this syntax won't work, so my question is: How can I pass a built-up string value to the MyBase.BackgroundImage?
Can the background image in a picture box be moved, or located some where else, not the top left corner?I am aware of the layout that can be changed but that is not what I am after.
View 3 RepliesThe code;
Private Sub PictureBox3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox3.Click
If user.Right > PictureBox3.Left Then
PictureBox3.BackgroundImage = (My.Resources.dooropen)
End If

Will not work as it should, when my player (rectangleshape) right is more than the picturebox.left it will not update the picture of the picturebox.
I'll explain this briefly as I need to be sure pretty quickly... basically, I'm developing a game. after the user gets 5 points, an alert box comes up saying "proceed to next level"... on the next (second level) I want the background image to change....
Now the default background is not a picturebox, it's actually part of System.Drawing.Bitmap I am using the same form throughout the entire game, so when it says "Proceed to next level" the game stays on the same form... Here's my Select Case statement to tell it to change the background image:

I am using images imported into My.Resources as images for items in my game. Now for the saving procedure I use pnl.BackgroundImage.ToString but that returns System.Drawing.Image. What I'd like to know is how to retrieve the name of the resources object that is the image of the panel.

I have a panel that has a BackgroundImage set to "zoom". Because of this, the image usually has some grey "letterboxing" showing the panel beneath the BackgroundImage. I want to paint on the Graphics Object of the Panel using its paint event handler. Is there a way to contrain my painting to just the image part of the panel? Is there a way to find the rectangle that the BackgroundImage is occupying within the panel?
P.S. I don't want to make a graphics object from the BackgroundImage because I'm already using that for some other "paint layers".
A tabcontrol's backgroundimage caused severe flicker problems when resizing a windows form. By setting that property to NONE at designtime and that adding it at the very end of the processing pipeline & after the window had been maximized, the flicker problem on initial form load was solved.
HOWEVER, now when a tabpage resize event is fired, I would like to remove that image at the beginning of the resize and add it back to the tabpage at the end of the resize event. The following code however does NOT work. I get an error in the resize event, Property cannot be found.
Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
TabPage.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.GraphicallyIntenseImageToDraw

View 1 RepliesI am using VS2010 VB.net and I am having issues with what would normally apear to be straight forward in VB6... I am looking at a control that will alternate its backgroundimage between two images, I wish to check which image is currently loaded to the control and change it to the alternative image.
If A1RectangleShape.BackgroundImage = my.resource.Image1 then
A1RectangleShape.BackgroundImage = my.resource.Image2
else[code]....
This only yields the type of image thats assigned to the control "System.Drawing.Bitmap" how to return the backgroundimage file name thats been assigned to the control at runtime, IE Image1 or Image2.
defauld the usercontrol create(when is used) the backgroundimage property, but these property can be blocked? i'm asking these, because i need the entire control in that property

The panel is 989 x 516. The bitmap is 989 * x, 516 * x. The error comes up when I try to increase x to more than 10. Is there some kind of limitation with the panel's size or the bitmap's size? If so, how can I work around it?

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?
View 2 RepliesI would like to know if its possible to start up a second windows forms inside the parent form. Ex: A button is pressed and a new form is showed. I would like to keep that new form inside the parent form, and have it not be able to go outside the parent form.
