Repeat Gradient PDF Background
Nov 25, 2010I am creating a page that auto-creates a pdf file from data in the database. I have the entire pdf working with the exception of the pdf background. The customer wants a gradient which I will need to repeat, but how would I create this? the image is 1px in width 976 in height [Code]. I was hoping that declaring a longer width it would stretch the image across but this failed.

View 2 RepliesInterface And Graphics :: Button Background Gradient Disappears?
Nov 13, 2008This is VB 2008, under Vista. I can't seem to change the background color of a button without the gradient disappearing.Strangely enough, you can even set the background color to itself and the gradient disappears. How do you keep the gradient but change the color?
Here's an example:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Button1.BackColor = Button1.BackColor ' This should do nothing!

Panels, Background Images And Transparency GUI?
Jan 2, 2011Has anyone else had this problem in VB.Net (I'm using VS 2008)?Basically I have several panels in a form, and the form has one background image (a gradient) while the panels have a different background image for themselves. Now, when I place a couple of labels and a button in the panels, and set the background of the labels to transparent (so that the background image of the panel is shown as the background of the labels in question) while running the application the form and panels kind of "flash" (a very short and fast white flash, like from a camera) the whole window for a couple of seconds (continuously), after which they do several refreshes of their text and background.
The problem only happens in Vista and Windows 7, XP seems to be not affected. Is this fixable? I thought it may be a problem with my display drivers (as it's not happening in my XP installation), but I saw the same problem happen on a video review of my application at CNET, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with the GUI?

View 1 RepliesChange Background Images Of Buttons In VB During Runtime?
Jun 4, 2011When I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?

View 2 RepliesNon-linear Performance In Scaled Background Images?
Aug 5, 2011I have a form that scales a background image. The form is painted 30 times a second (using Invalidate so it redraws the whole background image). When the window size is less than half my screen (1366x768), Task Manager reports that the program's CPU usage is 00. If I increase this a few pixels in width, all of a sudden the CPU usage jumps up to 50+. I can get up to about 606000 pixels in the client rectangle before it starts exhibiting this behavior
View 1 RepliesScrolling Through Different Images As Background In Visual Basic?
Sep 4, 2011What would be the best and easiest way to change background image in a VB application from images that are preselected by user from any given folder on the hard disk.
So say "Mike" selects some images in D:ImagesNature in the Nature folder we have lets say "20" images. Now the VB app reads this and saves path so next time its open its fetching images from that folder once more. And every few sec lets say 45 sec a new image is loaded for background.

They will do this over a background image so the buttons line up with images in the background.Without the background image, the buttons move smoothly and quickly.

I need to fill the datagridview with values, the datagridview is disconnected from any database or other data source.
