GetPixel API On Picturebox?
Aug 6, 2009
I'm having trouble getting the pixels of a Picturebox. My code is as follows:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports VB = Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
[Code]...
The program is supposed to load a picture, and then get each every pixel on the first line, adding the HEX color code and a "," to the richtextbox. At the last pixel of each line, it adds a ";" and skips to the next line, repeating the process until all processes are read. I've done this successfully by creating a new bitmap and using the .GetPixel from that, but that is terribly slow. Will this be faster? If not, is there any other API I could use that is faster?

My program works through each cell in a raster bitmap loooking at the r g b values. Actually I'm just working with greyscale so r = g = b. I use the get pixel method to return the 8 bit value of each pixel (0 - 255). However I'm now working with a single channel 32 bit float bitmap. I can't load it into VB. I tried Dim myBitmap As New Bitmap(OpenFileDialog1.FileName) but this fails with an unspecified error when trying to open a 32 bit tiff.
The question is: which graphics format will allow me to load a 32bit bitmap into VB, and if I succeed will the getpixel method return 32bit float results for the greyscale level for each pixel?

I have a icon maker program. I have two pictureboxes pic1 and pic2 and a open image button. I need a code that will if the pic1.image color has any red in it, it will take that red and turn it into the desired color. I know you can use getpixel and setpixel but I don't know how to use these.

Is it possible to use GetPixel in a different way? I want to use it like:
'If GetPixel(x,y) = COLOR Then
Loop Until GetPixel(x,y) = DIFFERENT COLOR
Something like that...

i need some help on explaining to me whats going on in the code below. Basically, the code below is used to convert a bitmap image to grayscale level (black and white).
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim pic As Bitmap
pic = picVisible.Image
Dim X As Integer
[code].....
what i dont understand is the part;
color = (CInt(pic.GetPixel(X, Y).R) + pic.GetPixel(X, Y).G + pic.GetPixel(X, Y).B) / 3
why is it that the Cint() is only used for pic.GetPixel(X,Y).R) and not for the others ? Any Image processing expert that can help explain this ?
Note: The code works well and manages to convert an image into its grayscale.

I worked in a role and functioning properly. The problem is that it is a bit slow for use in many images would be very slow. I read online that with stride and scan0 and working in memory with buffer can be made faster, but i donīt understand anything . Does anyone know how it works or how to make my code run faster?

What I'm trying to do is iterate through each pixel in a bitmap, and get the color value of each pixel.I've tried using .getpixel, but it's fairly slow. On a 640x480 image, it takes roughly .35 seconds to go through it. Which can add up if doing many pictures.

[code]Well, the first GetPixel works fine, it sets textbox2 to yellow if the pixel is ofund and textbox1 says green. But, the second GetPixel doesn't work. The coordinate are correct and the color is also, but I never receive the msgbox.

Im trying to make a program that will automatically send a left mouse click on the current mouse position using a getpixel trigger. The one i made will wait for the pixel color to change and it will trigger the next timer to monitor if an indicator hits the middle of the bar.
This is the example of the bar waiting for a color change:
This is the example of the bar when the indicator comes out

I have a timer that among other things, checks 5 spots on the screen for a color change. My program monitors a phone system app and checks to see if there is a new incoming phone call from any of 5 buttons. I'm using the following code based on another question I had posted. Monitor an area of the screen for a certain color in Visual Basic
Private Function CheckforCall()
Try
Dim queue1 As Integer = GetPixel(GetDC(0), 40, 573)
Dim queue2 As Integer = GetPixel(GetDC(0), 140, 573)
[code]....
Using this code, GDI Objects skyrockets very quickly and within short order, throws an OutOfMemory exception. I'm assuming I'm not releasing the DC properly, but I can't seem to find any other way to do it.

I'm trying to find the colors of pixels using GetPixel(x,y) with bitmaps.
I understand how to use it and it works.
When I use .ToString I get the string version of the color.
Now when I use .ToArgb I get a negative number and the colors are backwards?
16777215 should be white and 0 should be black.
This is an example of some results:
-16273900 is showing close to black and -32567 is showing close to white.

what i have been trying to get to work is getting a pixel from a program that is not focused (so minimized). I tried Getpixel but only got it to work when the window is active(focus). It seems it only works for active window.Then i thought making a temperately screenshot of the program and get the pixel. I came across PrintWindow. Right now im searching to make a temperately screenshot of a minimized program and read the pixels of it. So far i had no success.

I am trying to use GetPixel and SetPixel to copy the contents of one picture to another (I know there are other methods to do so, but there are reasons I want to try this ;D)Anyway, the pictures are .png images, so they include transparency settings.
But for some reason, it seems like when I use GetPixel & SetPixel to put one image over another, it seems the second image completely replaces the other one. I mean, it seems the transparency settings are not respected when I use GetPixel & SetPixel.Both images have the same size. Both have transparent areas.

I have a PaintEventHandler connected to a picturebox via AddHandler.
In PaintEventHandler I have coded this for writing the drawing to PictureBox1.Image:
Dim PictureBox1 As PictureBox = CType(sender, PictureBox)
PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim bmp As Image = PictureBox1.Image
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
... drawing something ...
PictureBox1.Image = bmp
Everything works fine but after running through the paint event handler and showing the picture on the screen it calls the painthandler again and again. It does not stop.
Replacing the code above with
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
Makes it running. But then I cant save the Image to a file.

I have a program I'm working on that, for one of the features, allows the user to drag an image from a picturebox, into the main form space, anywhere they want. [code]...
When trying to drag the image from the CurrentTilePicBox, the very moment I move the mouse while dragging the cursor becomes a circle with a cross and won't drag and drop into the new picturebox.

Hey I am making a GDI++ game in vb.net. Now what I want is the monster(picturebox) to go after the player(picturebox). There Are No Vertical Walls. Only The Edge of map barriers. For example to get to the player the AI would have to go to the end of the ledge and either jump off and fall to the lower ledge or take the ladder down. There is no jumping, only falling and going up and down ladders and across the horizontal ledges. So How Can I make this pathfinding system?

I have a panel, which contaisn two Pictures.When the panel is mousehover the Pictures appears. When the panel is mouseleave the Pictures disappears.However, when I'm trying to pass the mouse between the Picturebox and Panel, the Picturebox disappears, because the panel doesn't detect that as panel area.
Private Sub Panel_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Panel.MouseHover

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)
Dim blank As New Bitmap(100, 300)

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?

Ok, so I have a new challenge for the D.I.C. Heads. I'm making a simple little game using VB controls. I know it's not the best idea in the world but it'll have to do for now!
Here is whats happening. I've created a class that inherits the PictureBox control that I want to use to place my game pieces on the playing field.
Dim pbArmyUnit(0) As ArmyUnit ' ArmyUnit is a Class that inherits Picturebox now I create the playing pieces at runtime as needed and append them to the array. Player currently buys the units and places them on the playing field.
[Code]...
On a side note how can I look at a stack of pictureboxes all created at runtime to determine whats at a particular location? Example. I move my army unit over top of the picturebox that shows my forest. How can I tell what picturebox I just moved on top of? does that make sense? I don't need code for this just directions on looking at the right info so I can figure it out.
I am creating my terrain at runtime as well since it's randomly generated. and I'm basically making an array of 192 pictureboxes with the appropriate terrain image as well as some other modifiers. Just like with my armies above I've inherited picturebox and created a terrain class array, this way I'm able to add my movement modifiers etc, directly to the picturebox I place on the screen. It's these pieces of terrain that I want to be able to check before allowing the unit to move into them! to get movement costs etc.
