View 9 RepliesI saw the other poster with his issue but I didn't want to hijack his thread so i'll start a new one.I'm trying to add an animated Gif to my form and when I run it I just get the following error.
A generic error occurred in GDI+I've tried several animated gifs and they all do it.
I've just got a picturebox on the form. and the following code
picPictureBox1.ImageLocation = ("c:
eportserver.gif")
picPictureBox1.Load()
The animated GIF is the one from this site: (spinny)[URL]...

View 2 RepliesI have an add-in application running in Outlook that pops up a form to tell the user something is being processed.The add-in is written in vb. net.The information form has an animated gif on it which should animate as the rest of the program is processing however it stops animating.The code is as follows:[code]

View 4 RepliesInstead of making the user sit looking at a dead form, I figured it'd be nice to show a "Program is working" message to them. And to make it pretty, slapped an ani' gif on there for good measure. The result was not good. The form loads, but only just. The labels with the brief message and the gif do not show and parts of the form background are transparent where they haven't loaded properly. I've tried several way around this:-
1) Opening the form but make it invisible, only making it 'visible = true' when I need it. I had hoped that since the form was already loaded it would display. It didn't.
2) keeping the form opena nd visible but moving outside the bounds of the display. Move it to center screen when I want to see it. No change in behavior, still doesn't load properly.
3) Opening the separate form and then on that form load, call the big sub from the main form. This one just completely refused to show even the outline of the new form and then tried to close it before it had even opened it.
I've done some research on the internet. All the examples I can find are either poorly explained (for my level) or are just so unfathomably complicated that it makes me want to uninstall VB.Net in a fit of rage. So, to summarize: Form1 has a big job to do. Form5 is a small wait message with an ani' gif. While Form1 is working its mojo, Form5 needs to show in its entirety with the gif spinning around in circles.

View 9 RepliesFirst part of a huge block will contain some text. That block is not always visible. it will be visible when the user is inputing a control. It is drawn in a bitmap image which will later be a part of the final image of the form.The second part consist of several small bitmap images most probably will contain a letter. These images will not change but there position will keep changing by time. These images will be free to move even beneath the huge block (If visible).I used a timer with 1 sec. interval to redraw form, but when the block is visible it keeps flickering because the timer clear the form and redraw the block.
I tried to use different container for the block like the PictureBox but when the small image goes beneath the block it just disappear.The block color code is "Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Black)" I tried lower Alpha components and that didn't make any difference.My explanation is that the background of the picturebox is not transparent. If I'm right how to make the picture box transparent?

I have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already.But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button.so lets say i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them.the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

I have created a button in a UserControl. I have added that button to a WindowsForm in another app and added a buttonclick event to the code. When running (debugging) the app and clicking on the button; nothing happens. It doesn't act like a button at all.
The code for the button click event in my test app is as follows:
Private Sub Element1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Element1.Click
MsgBox("The button has been clicked")
End Sub

View 2 RepliesI'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 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.

What methods (if this is supported) Would I need to do to show it?
APNG means Animated PNG file.
I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I've done a ton of searching but I can't find what I'm looking for. Right now my program gets a image file, converts the image to 4 colors (Black, Red, Yellow and Green), then converts each pixel to a number for that color.This works great, but now I'm trying to do this for an animated image, but I need to be able to loop through each frame, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access each frame of the image.
View 6 RepliesI'm using a picture box to show an animated gif on my form. When i created the gif, I set it so it only loops once. The gif plays correctly in a browser, but when i set the image of the picture box to my animated gif it continuously loops.
I only want to loop once through the images embedded in my animated gif when i set the image of the picture box. What is the easiest way to do this? Does anyone have or know of any sample code to do this? I have been searching this for a while, but have not been able to find anything.
I was wondering if it is possible to change the size and button layout of a form by using a button. the only way i could make it appear to change size, was by having it so when you hit the button labeled "Change Layout", it would do

1. Something similarly I want with another button - when I click button2, I want to remove specific object - let say panel2, not hide it.
2. The second thing is that I want to put text from my textbox into excel, but in specific row. I would like to do that with word file as well. I would like to put text form my textbox in specific table, or row, or line. I only know to put text into a file.
