Hardware - Make An Animated Gif To Animate In A Picturebox?
Jan 1, 2009
1. How can i make an animated gif to animate in a picturebox?
Picturebox1.Image = Image.FromFile("Loading.gif") 'it shows just one frame
2. Variables: ManagementObjectSearcher,Globals.getOnBoardDeviceStructure are not declared any suggestions?
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("root\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_OnBoardDevice")
I have a picturebox with a animated gif,as yuo can see it goes up the bricks, 1,2,3,4 etc as it should when displayed in my picturebox it goes threw the bricks 1,3,5 then back round next time 2,4,6 and so on..is there some sort of delay?
I'm trying to get an animated gif picturebox to play and then after it is done "Playing" it will hide and show another picturebox. I thought I could do this with a timer but I can't really seem to get it to work. I need this in the form_load because the first picturebox shows on form load.
I wrote a little utility that compares pictures in a directory against each other and will display them side by side in two pictureboxes so the user can weed out duplicates. Anyway, seemed to be working fine until I started testing a directory that had animated gifs in it. The gifs will start playing in the form's pictureboxes, but at random (with no action taken by user) one of them will crash and give the attached error script. The other gif will continue running, but the offending picturebox will have the unrecoverable red "x", reloading or changing images does nothing after that point for that picturebox. As part of the apparent randomness, it will happen on either picturebox and the amount of time before it happens varies and does not seem to correlate to anything. For additional confusion, I have also seen where there is no error thrown, but both picturesboxes will suddenly go to the red x in the middle of a gif.
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I can't really figure out how to extract frames and what not from an animated image stored in a picturebox. I made a post earlier similar to this matter. But now I must ask how it is that you work with GetFrame and SetActiveFrame.
I've been searching for days. I can't find anything that I think is going to work. I've probably read the answer and skipped it because I don't get it. I'm new. I've researched multithreading, sub routines and webbrowser. The webbrowser thing doesn't seem professional to me.
All I want is the animation to be smooth when it's displayed and to have it integrated into the app so it's not called from the local drive.The animated gif is in PictureBox3. Please point me in the right direction. I really don't want to use a static image.
I have a Mainform which the original Size is 900 x 600. When I call a usercontrol I want the form to animate to a new size of 1100 x 770. I'm not sure how to animate the mainform to the new size when I load the control and display the usercontrol. I thought about using a timer control but I'm not sure how to do this.[code]...
I was trying to show an waiting icon when processing a time consuming operation (to let user know something is running behind), but no sure what's the good way to do it? for example, i have a picture box holding this animated Gif, and initially i set it to be invisible, but I want to show it and actually working (alive) when clicking a button, this button will trigger a do loop ending after 1min. [code]
I am trying to make a picturebox follow another picturebox. But I also want this picturebox to be able to collide with the other picturebox if the picturbox stops. I hope this is not too confusing. I cannot figure this one out. The code below is probably nothing like what I should be doing, but i cannot think of any other way to do what I want.
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox2.Location.X) PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox2.Location.Y)
I have two Picturebox and both should be transparent background, but the real problem is both transparent for form background but not over each other .
I am haveing a big problem with object orientated programming I just can not seem to understand it fully I can use it for simple tasks but I am trying to use it to create enemys in my game that move automatically.I want to be able to put the moving logic in to a class and then apply it to as many pictureboxes that want in my game i also want the class to add enemys automatically. The enemys are cars and I have the moving logic but as I said am unable to figure out how to put it in a class and call it sucsesflly. If anyone could help me with this it would be very appriciated as this has been stressing me out for weeks.
In a Winform application, I'd like to animate the showing of a form a bit like when an email comes in and the notification window raises slowly from the bottom of the task bar.
I've got a few ideas involving timers and resize but they all seem complicated and/or clumsy so I wonder if anybody could suggest a simple way to do this or some magic function I could use to do it automatically.
K I'm looking for some instructions on how to use gdi + to animate a .gif file. I found tutorials online but can't seem to get any of the code working.
I would like my form icon to be an animated GIF. is this possible? I can change the icons easily enough but cannot see how to change the icon to a GIF. I am using VS2008?
Is there a way to animate a TextBlock's colour change?
At the moment I am basically using the enter/leave events to change the colour and I would like to a almost like a fade (but a fast fade, so .1/.2 secs) to give it a nicer visual appearance instead of being instantaneous.
ps. Due to constraints, the actual code is vb.net but I will accept c#.net answers as I can read both fine. Just learning WPF.
I want to Animate or put styles when a Form opens up. May be it should break into pieces as it opens up and come together... something like that. Any kind of style.
I am trying to load bulk images and trying to put them as a slideshow and it's working fine. Now I would like to have some effects like flip out,ease out effect and fade effect on those images when changing them without using any user control as I would like to do with the existing picturebox.Is it possible to do so?
If so can anyone point me to some resources.As I have done googling and found some useful links and I am placing here that might helpful to someone.And all these have use seperate usercontrols to do, and I am not looking into that.[URL]..

I am using GDI to draw an image of a character on the screen and I would like to animate the character when the user presses an arrow key. Here is my character
character code character.DrawImage(My.Resources.Right_Standing, 12, 340, 40, 36)
I am using this method
method Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
The error that I get is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."[code]...
And is it even possible to do a vb6 style implementation? As I see it, this will clone the picture image while the vb6 implementation will just read directly off the image? and is lockbits like getdibits? I need to process 60 bitmap images of about 200pix by 200pix every second.
I'm trying to make a picture box do a "fade in" effect. I just don't exactly know how to code it. The general premise is, in the main form's load event handler, I'd run a procedure so that when the form opens up, a picture will fade in. I have 20 copies of the same picture, each gradually less and less faded.I was thinking of cycling through an array of all the images with a timer control so it animates and fades in.
