Graphics - How To Clear Form Background
Feb 23, 2012
I am trying to create a simply bouncy ball application in VB net; I am using a timer and the FillEllipse() method to try ad create a new circle at every tick of the timer.
Code:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim Gr As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics
Gr.FillEllipse(Brushes.Teal, X, Y, W, H)
CollisionDetect()
X = X + X_Dir
Y = Y + Y_Dir
Gr.Dispose()
End Sub
The result? The form continously draws onto itself, without clearing the last circle. This means that you end up with a 'line' of spheres together.
To clarify:
X is well, the X-Coords
Y is Y- Y-Coords
X_Dir is an integer, it is added to every iteration of the loop so the next time the loop iterates, it'll be at a different location;
Y_Dir is the same but for the Y Coords;
CollisionDetect() Is empty. It is yet to be filled, it will handle the collision with the sides of the forms. W, H are width and height, respectively.

Is there a way to somehow "stabilize" the background image on a form, because the way it is now, makes it almost unbearable to use background images. I have a transparent panel that has a scroll bar, and when you use the scroll bar, the background image goes all "weird". It also starts flickering when you resize the form, and all in all, it's not that enjoyable to use.

I have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dlls which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I go from the main program to the dll, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker?

on the form i have a groupbox with a few textboxes and labels inside of it. Behind the group box i have a picturebox image. I want this image to be seen around the textboxs etc.. through the groupbox
Ive tried changing the background colour in the properties to transparent but you can still see the background colour and so the groupbox covers up the picture.
I want the background of the groupbox to be completely transparent.

I made a game in VB 08 and I have sprites and a background but I need to know how to make the background of the sprites transparent.I'd like to note that I'm using a picture box for my sprite, and the game is animated (I read that those things are relevant).I've read a lot on bitblting but I don't understand it, and when I found a helpful article it mentioned to use the .hdc. This article though was made before the introduction of GDI+ which now makes it harder to obtain said .hdc.

This 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!

My app allows the user to set a new button on a tabpage, move it and resize it. 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. With the image turned on, the buttons want to move sloooowly and they drag. I made up this code just to show the basic function of what I am trying to accomplish.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Public finalshape As Region

I am attempting to write a simple 11ball style game. It requires images of poolballs overlapping each other. Since the balls will need some internal intelligence I was hoping to create them as usercontrols.I am having trouble gettiing the control's background to be transparent.Setting the background color to (Web) transparent only makes the background clone the form background color.

Ive been working on creating a side scroller game, and the back color of my pictureboxes needs to go. when transparent, it shows through the program and onto whatever is active in your Windows os(usually Visual studios).
I am trying to rip pixel color off of the background image picturebox( the level), and replace parts of the character picture box that show transparency with the level art. there may be poor logic in my code?
Heres my code:
Dim newImage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Image)
Dim backImage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image)
Dim ximg As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox3.Image)
[code]....
not the best idea, but all i get is one color for all the level pixels placed in the new image, which is odd. any poor logic you see in this code that could allow the newImage.setPixel not to be 1 color? when i breakpoint, it is recieving different colors from the backimage.getpixel, but only putting one shade on for setpixel somehow. im not going for an accurate color read from the background yet, just wondering why im getting 1 pixel color for the whole picturebox background when being changed.

I looked at another thread to see how to assign the ESC key to clear my form, but it does nothing.
Private Sub frmBookingForm_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Escape
InitialiseForm()
End Select
End Sub
Do I need to IMPORT anything before this code works.

I am trying to write code to clear all textboxes on a form automatically.
I have entered the following code:
For each ctrl as Control in me. controls
If TypeOf ctrl is TextBox then
ctrl.text = ""
end if
Next
The form has various controls on it, including textboxes, buttons, and others. When I run the above code 'ctrl' only seems to find buttons but not textboxes.

As Autodesk is going to discontinue VBA for their Inventor product in the near future I have been looking at other ways to run VB.NET in Inventor. To date it doesn't look like VSTA will be the replacement. Automation from an External VB.NET app is certainly possible, but leaves something to be desired for speed and integration. Compiled Add Ins are the Cadillac of choice but can be a royal pain to debug and develop. Autodesk now provides a lightweight VB.NET script interface called iLogic. It's main purpose is to allow extreme customization of Solid Modeling parts. The code actually resides inside the Part Model file.
